Gridlok - Big Brother lyrics

He took down from the shelf a bottle of colourless liquid
With a plain white label marked VICTORY GIN
It gave off a sickly, oily smell
As of Chinese rice-spirit
Winston poured out nearly a teacupful
Nerved himself for a shock
And gulped it down like a dose of medicine
Instantly his face turned scarlet
And the water ran out of his eyes
The stuff was like nitric acid
And moreover in swallowing it
One had the sensation of being hit
On the back of the head with a rubber club
The next moment, however, the burning in his belly died down
And the world began to look more cheerful

Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
[3x]

Freedom is slavery
Ignorance

Ignorance

Only a few will understand
What's about to happen

Now we can see you
Clasp your hands behind your heads
Stand out in the middle of the room
Stand back-to-back
Do not touch one another
[..]

Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength
