The glassy human

We are so lovely and cute (1)
People listen to us on the telephone
You haven't sent off your mail yet
but the others are already reading them
 
The world is in an Apple- and iPhone craze
and CPUs know more than us
They are mercilessly mining data
Wherever you are -they follow you
 
For Security -tapattack
We are fully supervised
BND (2) - NSA
We are all under blanket suspicion
 
The glassy human, caught in the net
Secret Agencies fever with collection-high
The glassy human, caught in the net
Governments play the data-trade
 
Caught in the net
Against any right and law,
Caught in the net
Against any right and law,
Caught in the net
Against any right and law,
 
Where is your sphere still private?
Where are networks really social?
You have your hard data-depository
Humans made of glass -fully digital
 
We are betrayed and sold
Spying is strategy
Total Control -totally uncontrolled
And the net will never forget you
 
From early to late -exploited
Freedom threatened
BKA (3), FBI
One wrong word, red security alarm
 
The glassy human, caught in the net
Secret Agencies fever with collection-high
The glassy human, caught in the net
Governments play the data-trade
 
Caught in the net
Against any right and law,
Caught in the net
Against any right and law,
Caught in the net
Against any right and law,
 
Whoever is who this world
in his hands holds
Hopefully will some day notice
that glass is breakable

>"and calculators know mare than us" typo there
"Rechner" in German means -> computer (not caculator)

>"ausgespäht," is rather "spyed out" than "exploited"

I agree but it's also "Taschenrechner" which seemed to be more in line with the rest of the lyrics if you consider the context. Same thing with ausgespäht. We often say "exploited information" which means the same thing as "spied out" yet has more dimensions to it than Intelligence-gathering. It's ALL information... I don't feel strongly about either choice though)

You can rely on my information reference "Rechner".
That's the word that is used in today German for computer hardware.
You still have that typo "mare".
