Lyrics:
Duct tape that mechanical eye
When it’s blind
They can’t tell
Whether truth is a lie

Use the sewer
‘Cause the streets
Are not safe
And don’t tell anyone that
You’re trying to escape

And don’t make a sound while
You are running away
‘Cause desertion
Is not looked upon mildly
These days

Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
Do whatever you can
Where you are
To change all the things
That are wrong
With this place

But We Could leave
If that’s what it takes
To make us feel good
To make us feel safe

But maybe running
Is the easy way out
We could fight for the right ways
Fight for our birthplace

We should not let these people
Forget what they’ve done
‘Cause they fed us lies
And made us fear everyone

Duck for the camera lens
Hush for the microphone
Do whatever you can
Where you are
To change all the things
That are wrong with yourself

From Wikipedia:
“I Am a Camera” is a synthpop song by The Buggles from 1981 of “Video Killed the Radio Star” fame, from their second album, Adventures in Modern Recording. Trevor Horn and Geoff Downes started writing the song before joining up with Yes. A version of the song was released as “Into the Lens” on the Yes album Drama. When Horn and Downes continued with the new The Buggles album, the song was completed as “I Am a Camera”. The two versions feature slightly different lyrics, notably “I will never let you go, and you always let the feelings show” (Yes version) compared to “I will never let you go, if you only let the feelings show” (The Buggles version).

In the music video made for the song, during the beginning, there are a pair of Horn’s trademark glasses. On one of the lenses is a video and the other is glass. Horn comes out of the video side of the glasses (as illustrated). There are scenes involving Horn singing, broken glasses and opticians’ tools. The video is seemingly set in a dollhouse. Towards the end, Horn is seen lying on the floor passed out.

The title is a quote from Christopher Isherwood’s Goodbye to Berlin (1939). The full sentence reads, “I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.” There was a play (1951) and subsequent film (1955) based on the novel under the name I Am a Camera.

Lyrics:
Memories, how they fade so fast
Look back, that is no escape
Tied down, now you see too late.
Lovers, they will never wait.

I am a camera

Take heart, I could never let you go
And you, always let the feeling show
Love us all, how you never broke your heart
You lose them
If you feel the feeling start.

I am a camera, camera, camera

And you, may find time will blind you
This to just remind you
All is meant to be.

Here, by the waterside
There, where the lens is wide
You and me
By the sea
Taken in tranquility.

Taken, taken so easily
To pass into glass reality
Transform, to transfer, to energy.

Taken, taken, so easily
To pass into glass reality
Transformer, transferring energy
