Conveniently Compromised

We fear the government spies in the dead of night, 
So we buy a wiretap to adjust the light. 
We panic over microchips implanted in the skin, 
While carrying a tracker where the scrolling begins. 
There is no need for a fly on the wall to watch the show, 
When we livestream our breakfast so the advertisers know.
