wynton marsalis - mr. game: your fourth prize lyrics

our greatness has created jealous enemies everywhere. there are menaces within and without. we have a wide+open country with very, very porous borders. o, glorious people! we intend to protect every square inch of our homeland…but we can’t do it without your help, folks

fourth prize

we need you to register all pertinent personal, medical and financial information; to obtain the standard identification card which allows you to get in and out of public sp+ces; and please!! keep your phone with you at all times or get an implant. it’s for your safety! we already have access to your spending habits, entertainment preferences, daily routines, and the tendencies of your most frequently called friends. these last bits of information will enable us to completely protect you

here’s some history:

when we owned them, we would issue papers that accounted for them. for the very few who were able to ascend from their god given position, we issued freedom papers. if you didn’t have those papers, you weren’t free. we really kept track of those people because you couldn’t have them out spreading public mischief and mayhem

sometimes, to avoid work, they ran away. we posted the most beautiful descriptions of their person complete with dispositional observations. these advertis+m+nts allowed our citizens north and south to repatriate them back to their owners. we all partic+p+ted and were very successful. when we all come together, success is guaranteed

if it was important to account for a runaway, you can imagine, o, glorious people! you are far too important to go uncounted. register now so we can protect you!

folks, these are troubled times. corruption is all around us in the form of deception. open your eyes: doctors addicting you to drugs they’re paid to prescribe, heads of stock exchanges running ponzi schemes, priests molesting kids, citizens supporting criminals over our officers, i could go on and on. let’s not even mention the minorities and the terrorists, lord save us!!

look around at all the public violence. you cannot have enough surveillance and security. our technological devices are far more trustworthy than the judgment of a person, a camera does not lie

here’s the breakdown:
you are the only one you can trust
anyone could be doing anything at any time. “be afraid+ be prepared.”

here’s the hand me down:
surveillance equipment is steadily improving. soon, we will be able to surreptitiously record every interaction, in every home, so that each accusation can be supported or contested with accurate documentation. be amongst the first to partic+p+te

here’s the lowdown:
it’s important to know more than what everyone is doing. we need to know what’s on their minds. privacy is an enemy of freedom
this wonderful and timely prize grants you: freedom through constant surveillance and relentless security
