Oh Little Town of Easton To the tune of “O Little Town of Bethlehem”
Oh little town of Easton, How still we see thee lie, While cameras read every plate Of every passerby. The streets may seem so peaceful, The traffic rolling through, But somewhere in a database They’re keeping track of you.
Oh Flock upon the roadside, With lenses pointed down, Who gave you leave to catalogue The people of our town? No warrant and no reason, No crime we need commit, Our movements stored and searchable, And we object to it.
We cherish law and safety, We cherish neighbors too, But liberty means government Has limits it must rue. A free and peaceful people Should travel without fear, That every trip and every stop Be logged from year to year.
So hear us, Town of Easton, Before these systems grow, Before surveillance takes its root And becomes hard to throw. No databases watching, No dragnet in our town, Get the Flock out of Easton, And take those cameras down!
Flock the Halls To the tune of “Deck the Halls”
Flock the halls with surveillance cameras, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Track the cars of moms and grandmas, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Scan the plates of every driver, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Store the records on a server, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the camera by the roadway, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Watching everyone who goes by, Fa la la la la, la la la la. No suspicion, no citation, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Just a town-wide observation, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Raise your voice for Constitution, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Privacy is our solution, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tell the Council, tell the Mayor, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Easton needs no roadside stare, Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Silent Night, Surveillance Night To the tune of “Silent Night”
Silent night, surveillance night, Cameras scan left and right. Every plate on the avenue, Logged in a system as cars pass through. Travel should not be tracked. Travel should not be tracked.
Silent night, database bright, Search our movements day and night. Where we traveled, when and where, Who was nearby and who was there. That is too much power. That is too much power.
Silent night, freedom's light, Keep the Fourth Amendment bright. Safety need not mean a state Watching everyone at every gate. Let Easton remain free. Let Easton remain free.
God Rest Ye Merry, Privacy To the tune of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”
God rest ye merry, privacy, Let nothing you dismay, For cameras should not catalogue Each driver every day. No citizen should need a cause To freely make their way.
O tidings of freedom and joy, Freedom and joy, O tidings of freedom and joy.
From every road in Easton town The people come and go, To work, to shop, to visit friends, As free people should do so. Their movements need not feed a net That watches where they go.
O tidings of freedom and joy, Freedom and joy, O tidings of freedom and joy.
So tell our Town officials now Before the cameras spread, A free society should not build A map of where we've tread. Protect the rights of everyone And pull the plug instead.
O tidings of freedom and joy, Freedom and joy, O tidings of freedom and joy.
We Wish You a Flock-Free Christmas To the tune of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”
We wish you a Flock-free Christmas, We wish you a Flock-free Christmas, We wish you a Flock-free Christmas, And a private New Year!
No tracking we bring To you and your kin, We wish you a Flock-free Christmas And a private New Year!
Please take down the roadside cameras, Please take down the roadside cameras, Please take down the roadside cameras, And give us good cheer!
No tracking we bring To you and your kin, We wish you a Flock-free Christmas And a private New Year!
We won't go until they're gone now, We won't go until they're gone now, We won't go until they're gone now, So hear us right here!
No tracking we bring To you and your kin, We wish you a Flock-free Christmas And a private New Year!
Away with the Cameras To the tune of “Away in a Manger”
Away with the cameras, No lens by the road, No database building Where travelers have rode. The cars through our Easton Should freely pass by, Without being entered For future AI.
The police have a mission, And we honor it still, But powers need limits, As free people will. Investigate suspects When evidence is found, But don't turn the whole town To surveillance ground.
So guard our Fourth Amendment, And liberty too, For power once given Is hard to undo. Let Easton choose freedom, Let privacy abound, Away with the cameras, And take Flock systems down.
