Exit (feat. Edward Snowden)

Jean-Michel Jarre


Technology can actually increase privacy
The question is why are
Our private details that are transmitted online,
Why are our private details that are stored
On our personal devices any different then the details
And private records of our lives that are stored

In our private journals?
The same way that you don't care
About your privacy because you have
Nothing to hide is no different from saying
You don't care about freedom of speach
Because you have nothing to say

It's a deeply anti social principal
Because rights are not just individual
They are collective. And what may not have
Value to you today may have value
To an entire population, an entire people
Or an entire way of life tomorrow
And if you don't stand up for it...then who will?
