They CAN Hear You Now

Yes... Yes they can.

NSA can hear you now; they're monitoring phones.

(I'd thought they would be too busy operating drones.)

If you have Verizon they're aware of who you call.

I bet we'll discover that they're checking on us all.

Carriers can't tell us; it would violate the law.

'though it's meant to keep us safe it's sticking in my craw.

They're collecting "meta-data": who is calling who,

Where we are, how long we talk.  They're searching for a clue.

NSA can also find us on the internet.

Any fact they want to know about us they can get...

So much information, Libertarians are tense.

As for me, I wonder if the data's making sense.

While we trample 4th Amendment rights, I have to ask

Doesn't all this information complicate the task?

Don't they need to focus and not cast their net so wide?

I would love an answer but that, too, is classified.
