PRISM (a song about secrets, secret spying programs)

[Dennis Leahy]

I went looking for just the right thread to post this protest song (video) but there wasn't a perfect fit. The song is called PRISM, but it starts out with a bit of history leading up to it. It's obviously prompted by Edward Snowden's revelations, but the songwriter has done a nice job of showing it in context.

A simple repetitive strum (not much musically), but powerful lyrics - and I thought worth sharing.

There are not enough modern protest songs. I appreciate this.

That's very good, Dennis. I believe that Jefferson was right when he said "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Hopefully most of the blood comes from the tyrants, this time.
