lyrics

An opiate needle takes away the pain
The golden country slips through their veins
Program, vaporize, manipulate
The pendulum in the mind
Cause when the enemy is changing day by day
And history changes just the same
Contradictions coagulate
Yet still the flocks sedate

Mannequins and figureheads
Side by side and word for word
Delude the feather brained to disregard the words they know they heard

Here comes a candle to light you to bed
Here comes a chopper to chop off your head

War is peace
Ignorance is strength
Freedom is slavery
When all we knows truth peace love and plenty
War is peace
Ignorance is strength
Freedom is slavery
Know the words by heart:
Truth peace love and plenty

Solipsistic disposits
The whistle blowers writhe in pain
How much longer can we sustain?

Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me
There are no heroes in the face of pain
Extract the memories then they'll obey
Release the rats

Dissected piece by piece
Rebuild fractured reality
Reintegrate impassive drones

Keep a straight face
Big Brothers eyes are always watching you
Silicone telescreens track every word and move
