Monitor outside
\nfor the people inside
\na prevention of crime
\na passing of time<\/p>\n

The come and they go
\nit’s a passing of time
\nthey come and they go
\nWhilst we sit in our homes<\/p>\n

Sit back and enjoy
\nthe real McCoy
\nour new air of authority
\nour sentinel of misery<\/p>\n

His face was full of intent
\nand we shook excitement
\nthen the victim stared up
\nlooked strangely at the screen
\nas if her pain was our fault
\nbut that’s entertainment
\nwhat we crave for inside
\nno more second rate movies
\nfrom those people outside<\/p>\n

(from Siouxsie & The Banshees<\/a>, Monitor<\/a> (1981)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That song was released in 1981 on Siouxsie & The Banshees’ Juju<\/a> album — before news crews carried mini-cams, before home video cameras, before reality TV, before the PATRIOT act, before our President told the NSA to spy on American citizens.<\/p>\n

Juju is a spooky album. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
