about

"THOUGHTCRIME IS DEATH"

lyrics

THE THOUGHT POLICE


Consider the consequence
of stating that you don’t believe
A symbol of providence
is the reason that you all concede

The theory of everything
relies upon the truth you see
Believe in the evidence
we’ll provide the current history

The state of our union
relies upon your strong belief
The logic we feed you
provides the relief

The crime is in thinking
that the dark is really the light

AND IF YOU DEFY IT
YOU WILL FIND YOUR ENEMY
YOU MIGHT THINK ITS DOUBLETHINK
YOU FEAR THE THOUGHT POLICE

AND IF YOU DENY IT
YOU WILL REAP THE PENALTY
YOU MIGHT FEEL IT'S SO UNREAL
SO FEAR THE THOUGHT POLICEW

True freedom is slavery
and truth is a lie
Strength is naivete
that’s how you’ll survive

We watch all the mind crimes
and determine what’s right

And if we hear the hope the fear
we take we give the will to live
the right the time to face the crime
to think the right to see the light
we run we hide we rise inside
we rise we fall we see it all

We have the right to see the light
We have to rise to see it all

AND IF YOU DEFY IT
YOU WILL FIND YOUR ENEMY
YOU MIGHT THINK ITS DOUBLETHINK
YOU FEAR THE THOUGHT POLICE

AND IF YOU DENY IT
YOU WILL REAP THE PENALTY
YOU MIGHT FEEL ITS SO UNREAL
SO FEAR THE THOUGHT POLICE

We rise We fall

We see it all
