Verizon, Verizon.
They cull the bits Verizon.

So now we hear: the spying game
ain’t on some far horizon:
NSA pests are on their toes
(step on your toes)
as they cull the bits Verizon.

Verizon data does abound—
packets through ether flyin’.
Verizon don’t stand up. . .backs down
and with Brother is complyin’.

Verizon, Verizon,
with cullers it’s complyin’.

Before we knew Verizon’s game
they’d pretend to be whinin’.
But with their data they were free;
Like (Google, Redmond, Yahoo. . . .), they lack in spinin’.

Verizon, Verizon,
they cough up bits, Verizon.

We live in an Orwellian world
full of cyberpiracy
in which we’ve lost, we all have lost
a vestige of privacy.

Despisin’, despisin’—
them all I am despisin’.

Now it’s laid bare: the spying game
ain’t played by the gov. only.
When you’re online or on your phone,
you never will be lonely.

We’re double-crossed because The Man
ain’t just the NSA freaks.
There is equal complicity
on the part of these phone (Google, Redmond, Yahoo. . . .) geeks.

Verizon, VERizon?!*
No truth on the horizon.

Verizon and sidekicks:
loathsome coterie.


*In 2000, Bell Atlantic merged with former independent phone company GTE and adopted the name "Verizon", a portmanteau of veritas (Latin for "truth") and horizon.
