lyrics

Verse 1
Constantly on watch for the NSA’s fleet
They record all of our jams in the bars and the street
The days of rock have passed when our songs they would ignore
Hiding from Big Brother with his ear against our door
This stage and pit are holy, they’re guests with no invite
Their prying hand that feeds, it’s time to take a bite
They stole all of our tracks without warrant or permit
Obama’s in the oval office moshing to our shit

Chorus
The NSA is spying on my riffs
The NSA is spying on my riffs
Stuck on some government playlist
The NSA is spying on my riffs

Verse 2
Let’s tear the structure down, sever fingers off their reach
This music is our lifeblood and the NSA’s its leech
Moving in plain sight they hide among the masses
At the back of shows wearing suits and sunglasses
The keg at this party ‘aint the only thing that’s tapped
Every screen and phone, they got this city mapped
They passed our tunes around the legislative branch
James Clapper does the harlem shake grooving at his ranch

Chorus 2
The NSA is spying on my riffs
The NSA is spying on my riffs
Stuck on some government playlist
The NSA is spying on my riffs
