This excerpt is taken from "A Visit from the Goon Squad." by Jeniffer Egan. The author in the sentence That’s when he began singing the songs he’d been writing for years underground, songs no one had ever heard, or anything like them—“Eyes in My Head,” “X’s and O’s,” “Who’s Watching Hardest” uses satire, mocking man’s inability to freely express himself.
