Woohoohoo
Woohoohoo

Novel Orwellian
Future dystopian
Actions always seen
On two-way telescreen
Freedom went out the door
Leader is Big Brother
Can’t even opine
When thinking is a crime

Now you’re gonna talk the newspeak
Gonna learn the doublethink
If proles protest they’re taken
And arrested by the Thought Police
Say two plus two is five. Ingsoc well and alive
It’s Winston Smith’s life
And nothing has been alright since

Ministry of truth,
Started rewriting the news
Ministry of plenty
Can’t get anyone food to eat
Ministry of love
If watching you from above
The world’s become a horror
In 19, 19, 1984.

Woohoohoo
(1984)
Woohoohoo

Our protagonist
By name of Winston Smith
His mission plain to see
Revision history
When ideology
Turns into tyranny
Under the mandate
Of totalitarian super-state

English Socialism in Oceania
Perpetual war with Eastasia and Eurasia
We’ll use some newspeak to rewrite Hate Week
Whatever happened to freedom and truth
(Double-plus-ungood)

 

Ministry of peace,
Always at war overseas
Ministry of truth
RecDep rectifies the news
Ministry of love
O’Brien tortures for gov.
The world’s become a horror
In 19, 19, 1984.

Woohoohoo

Two minutes hate for Goldstein
What the hell’s Oligarchcal Collectivism theory?
When they take Winston to Room 101
Brainwashing, torture, Electros-
hock!
All for

Big Brother, the Party
And shifting orthodoxy
Revision memory hole
Teach kids to inform on the proles
Between love and mean rats
Julia had no chance
You must love Big Brother
In 1984

Woohoohoo

Airstrip One is nursin’
Folks soon to be unpersons
How could this come to be?
An Oppressive society
Cautionary tale unfurled
Welcome to this Brave New World
Seems like we’re more and more
In 19, 19, 1984
