the thought police now rule our world 

and in our faces lies get hurled [x2]



they set up telescreens 

no corner out of sight 

they feed you happiness 

but something isn't right 

can't trust anyone 

with thoughts you'd like to tell 

no escping this dark hell 



[Chorus]

and our lives grow cold 

in their eyes we're proles [x2]



the ministries have made their call 

our enemies at last will fall [x2]



they tell you war is peace  

and two and two make five 

freedom is slavery 

you need them to survive 

they got the watchers 

that list all that you tell 

in 1984 you're theirs to sell 



[Chorus] 



the truth is everywhere 

it's changing everyday 

they'll dictate what to think 

be careful what you say 

no proof of what is real 

no place where you can hide 

when they come for you 

and lock you up inside 



[Chorus]
