In the air the smoke cloud takes its form
All the phones take pictures while it's warm

Panopticom
Let's find out what's going on
Panopticom
Let's see where clues are leading
Panopticom
Won't you show us what's going on?
Panopticom
So how much is real?

And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground
Takin' in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode
Tentacles around you
Around you

From above and deep below the ground
It was in Berlin
That all the evidence was found
Look from the street
And we look down from the skies
See through the barriers
We can see through all those lies

Panopticom
Let's find out what's going on
Panopticom
Let's see where clues are leading
Panopticom
Won't you show us what's going on?
Panopticom
So how much is real?

And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground
Takin' in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode
Tentacles around you
Around you
Around you
Around you
Around you

good... but nothing exceptional, far from it.

According to Wikipedia:


The panopticon is a design of institutional building with an inbuilt system of control, originated by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the 18th century. The concept is to allow all prisoners of an institution to be observed by a single security guard, without the inmates knowing whether or not they are being watched.

Yes but notice Peter’s song is Panopticom with an M. He’s spoken about it being a source of truth, Google it a bit. Not a prisoner observation device.

Peter Gabrial never became a "nostalgia act."  Kudos to him for cranking out such great material over the years.

I love Peter, but he will always sound like himself.

That's pretty cool. I'm always down for a good dystopian rock song.

Brilliant new album. Up there with his best!

It's been a long time since I felt the joy of waiting for an album to come out. 

One song per month was an original way to release it, but also a pain to wait for the album as a whole.

I just heard he had  a new album out and was wondering when I would hear it here. Question answered.

Got to see this tour - incredible! If you have a chance - do it. Yes it's expensive but so worth it. The production, musicians, and music are all fantastic (dare I say he is as good as ever, and at 75 yo!).

And I hope this is just the first of at least a few tracks we will hear on RP. The album is excellent.
