Incubus - Love In A Time Of Surveillance Lyrics
Way, way out in space there's an island
The natives are restless and violent
Not long ago they were silent
Now they buzz and hum
Oh how far they've come right
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
But please do explain to me brother
Why all the spying on each other?
To sell to me this, then the other
I need a nom de guerre
It's all so unfair
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
[x2]
I will embrace my assailants
Kill them with kindness and patience
Love in a time of surveillance
Is in such a fuss at Voyeurs-R-Us
You're a seed to fill
It's all grist for the mill, just
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
Disappear, big data's got your number
Big data's got you
[x2]

Incubus Love In A Time Of Surveillance Comments
Incubus is amazing.
Incubus fans truly are the best kind of like minded individuals.
Love this!
I'm so stoked for the San Francisco shows in September💕🤩(2019)
Sept. 24th show...Meet & Greet, pre-show jam session & concert...DAMN, I LOVE INCUBUS.
I LOVE literally everything about this! Sincerly signed: me ;) !
Im a recoviring addict..
0:00 --> 0:11
This is like the perfect theme song for the book 1984 by George Orwell.
This sounds so good for Ash Williams from the Ash vs evil dead franchise :D :).. apart from that I have always loved how Incubus write/compose their songs.. huge fan.. so genuine, they just improve and don't move away from their sound..
That girl is a10.
Tbh this is the best song on the album. The rest really didn't appeal to me. The rest is electronic beats and more of a new age sound. Some of y'all guys old stuff like the album science and morning view is more of my type. Those albums around those time periods are the peak of incubus's music in my opinion. The rest is eh. Not bad but y'all should do more of a rock than an electric thing dude. I love read ing the lyrics in every album there is some type of message. Hope y'all do well.
Internet dial up modem sound. Classic ;-)
yeah boy!
Hey big Data I'm drunk
How many are listening to this in 1998?
😝😝😝😝
I've been listening to this song since it came out but it's the first time I've watched the lyric video. Gotta say I liked it better when I thought the lyrics were "big daddy's got your number" LOL
Love this!!! Had stopped listening to the bus for a little but when my brother showed me this song i dont know why i ever left. All the other music artists are very afraid to wake up this dumb generation.
All incubus should be enjoyed through headphones. Timeless.
00:36 Nov. 15, 2020...interesting date, don't you think?
I like loud madness mashed
I listened to Incubus in high school, college, and still now in the military. They are my favorite band of all time.
Incubus is awake. Stay real.
Well said!!!
3:17 bulls on parade?
This was their opening song last Feb 17, 2018 here in Manila. what a way to start the show! hope they come back here
And people said 8 doesnt have good lyrics. Disproven right here
Are you kidding me ?!?!
Is that a good exclamation? Lol
Opening song in CPT... Epic
Definitely sticks out compared to the rest of the album, so happy ya'll still practice so much variety. There's always something for everyone, but I totally prefer this sexy rocky stuff :')
Rocinha / Brasil 😎🤘🏾
Incubus should make an official video for this and dedicate it to Zuckerberg! Big Data's got your number, indeed!!
Awesome song and so true!!
i just saw incubus last week and they opened with this! real good live!!!!
love this song
the vocals on these new songs make me melt 💜💜 im in love
The intro reminds me of Tom Morello’s style, amazing
Am i the only one?
« A nom de guerre » lol french expression
It surprised me i’m french
Social lyrics? Violence in chords and riffs?
I gotta say, at first I was not loving this album. Then I saw you live at redrocks this year and it was like an epiphany. AHA! This is how it's supposed to sound. The stars aligned, and it all made sense. I fell in love. Thanks for another awesome album. <3
Woah I love this - lily 2017
Incubus beats all
Daaaaamnn so in love Thanks for the concert in Bogotá love you guys! Insane Sound!
I love this. Sappy and sweet
ssssssux!!!!
The guitar part makes me think of Led Zeppelin's song "Black Dog"
Seeing Incubus w Jimmy Eats World on August 14th!! F%^*g can't wait. Never seen b4🔥☮️🤘🏼✌🏼
Just saw them tonight in Az!! Amazing! Judah and the Lion, Jimmy Eat World, and INCUBUS! Finally saw Incubus live for the first time, they did NOT disappoint. Best concert I've been to, gah! I loved every minute, wish I could relive it again!
that last verse DAMN!
I love this song especially the first half. Why isn't it getting more views?
this is the song that jumped out the most to me on this album. also loved loneliest. incubus is my favorite band since 2004. 😊 and my first tattoo was a crow with a rose from the cover of a crow left of the murder. 😍 got it in LA when i saw them at the Greek theater in 07.
airuhhxo u like 90s Incubus too right?
Kry Kry Stott yep
Can't wait to see you guys this 23rd....Know this concert is gonna kick ass!!
oh my god this WAS SO FUCKING GOOD LIVE. so was loneliest. if you guys haven't gotten tickets to their summer tour yet you need to.
Amber Walker I'm seeing them today! Can not wait!!
Amber Walker I see them tomorrow
At first I thought it was saying "big daddy's got your number".....take my number, big daddy
Gretchen Ingoglia yes ma'am! Lol
brandon solo album also talk about the same thing.. i know how people like you guys can run from all this
they should just let Ben Kenny write the songs 😩
Sooo..."Big dat A's got your number", or..... and hear me out, considering the song title........ "Big Daddy's got your number" I know it's a stretch compared to big dat A's. I just don't get it honestly.
David Stewart... Big Data. Referencing the growing surveillance databases that we are all a part of without choice.
David Stewart To me, it’s a play on words. Big data’s got your number. (Tech, aggregated data, iPhones, algorithms). But also it sounds like Big Daddy’s got your number. Which evokes the feeling that something powerful & monstrous should be feared. He’s alluding to the dark side of technology and warning us, telling us to run
God this band sucks so bad now! Maybe if Brandon could focus more on making music instead of showcasing his clever, self indulgent lyrics, they may be able to produce something worth listening to.
chris frade they don't suck, you just don't like them. which is fine? but they're still talented despite if you believe it or not. go listen to someone you like instead of spreading negativity
I lost brain cells reading such an ignorant comment
Where exactly are you at in life to talk shit like that
Incubus has never sucked. Some songs are better than others, but they're all good. Better than anyone else is making these days.
who wrote the lyrics
They did
Big Daddy !!!!!! \m/ \m/
UUU I love this song, i need this
Big daddys got your number
the beginning sounds like "let me in" from the beatsteaks
That bassline is so phat! Tim Commerford-esque! Hands down best song on 8.
Audioslave meets prince meets muse. Epic!
seems like a fake video if you ask me love ya stay with you
This album was a wonderful surprise :) And this is one if my fav tracks. Love you guys!
So so dirty! I love it❤️❤️❤️❤️
Incubus should have given up after their last good record, Morning View. This is awful.
go listen to the sounds of nature so you can calm the fuck down
Ah dudes, literally every album since MV has been good, though some better than others. Albums like Science and Fungus Amongus were, in my opinion, still good.... But not nearly as good as their other albums.
Incubus you have fans in Jamaica! We don't only listen to reggae and dancehall.
some beautiful ladies in your country too.
Hmmmm And weed 😁
tamikash brandon, mickey and jose loves weed man 😊
And i love reggae and incubus! Sending love from babylon.
One love
I'm British Jamaican background though loved these guys for nearly 20 years
Power baby. Mike Einzinger is a boss
boa muito boa .
I love this track but I think it deserved a better lyric video :( The surveillance footage is too obvious given the unsettling misgiving vibe of the song.
I think it's getting a video
in love with this sound of Incubus! ♡♡
In a time of AOL dial-up.
cadê os BR?
It feels good to be early
Fruity McGayGay define early. Like fungus amungus early or what? ;p
"This track is dirty as fuck and I love it!" - Me, 2017
jose pasellas in the house yowwWw
what the fuck it is!
It took me three casual listens (didn't read the title) to realize that this wasn't about some rapey dad it was about the American government, which I guess is kind of like a rapey dad....
that one dislike is the nsa
LMFAO! Exactly bro 😆!
Wow!!!!....
this sounds like audioslave, the riff i mean
rip Chris
Tom Morello's colaboration in this one
More like RATM actually, wow!
No.. that was Rage Against the Machine
Augustin Olivares You nailed it👊🏻
Love from Malaysia!
coment coment eyeeeeyeyeye
I love it!!! 💜
✌😄
I love it
I Love Incubus❤❤ please come to Costa Rica!!!
Oh yeah, please come back to Costa Rica!
Been waiting for what seems like forever
Costa Rica 😍
Maybe you could get a huge group of people together and sing one of their songs and they might come. Look up 1,000 people sing foo fighters. They did it and it worked.
Favorite song of the album, awesome!
Thank you guys! I love these lyric video's but i'm worried about people ripping you for money.
bogoturtle how are people gonna rip them of?
incubus has been killing it for years. enjoyed their music as a young teen and still cranking their jams on blast.
MUITO BOM ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Sexiest track I've heard in a long time.
"Loneliest" is the sexiest from this album imho :)
+Carla Rosso Totally.... I absolutely love that song from this 8 album
i can definitely respect that. Loneliest is damn good!
Totter I was thinking the same thing
Clearly you haven't heard Anna Molly. :)
"Subele a esa madre, güey!"
De mis favoritas de "8"
watching with 126views still :)
Incubus yesssssssss
I love this one so much! It reminds me of that George Orwell novel, 1984
Maya Blankenship come one come all to 1984... member talk shows...
Anthony Garcia of course I remember. this one has a big brother is watching vibe tho
yeah, at first I thought he was saying "Big Daddy's got your number" haha, a twist on "Big Brother"
RocknCorruptrepublic I thought he said Big Daddy's too. ;)
