Gov'ment Cheese

Gov'ment Cheese

There was this book, 1984
We were shocked about that world
What was a telescreen?
Could it be the same thing as what we have today?
For our free thoughts the government may make us pay

You see us with unseen eyes...
Praying on our hopes and fears
commit our precious lives to do battle for you
Patriotism only goes so far, before we have to realize
fighting for your pointless agenda is suicide

So you wanna watch us through our TV
controlling what we see
Check our suspicious keystrokes,
that should be fun
let this continue and
our freedom means nothing to no one

So whats next?
No more success...
Our achievements based on a set limit?
Our wealth given to some unseen force
We will blindly do as we are told,
let life run its course, cuz our voice just went unheard!

Tell us what to do
We don't want our freedom.
