George Orwell Must Be Laughing His Ass Off lyrics

In my room the cameras sit on every side of me
Silently I sit and watch the death of privacy
What I eat and buy and think gets traded back and forth
And I can`t keep from feeling like I`ve heard this all before


Where have I heard this before?
I know I`ve heard this before
I`m afraid of what`s behind that door
Strap the ratcage to my face
Hey, welcome to 1984


2 2 don`t equal 5, guess I`m just no fun
And suddenly the mall looks just like Room 101
State suported sitcoms gonna keep me in my place
With all their pretty people like a boot right in my face


(CHORUS)


We all stay distracted stapled to our telescreens
Keeping us convinced we`re not just cogs in a machine
Enemies with perfect timing keep us all in line
While Dawsn`s Creek and Abercrombie sanitize our minds


If I don`t consume enough here come the thought police
To put me in designer clothes and put me on my knees
We thought the evil empire had vanished from our door
We`ve made ourselves a worse big brother then we had before


(CHORUS)
