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]
