When you’re born they take away your eyes
So when you grow up you'll be blind
And you'll only see what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
And when you’re young they take away your mind
So they can sculpt you just how they like
And you'll only know what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
1984 Knocking at our door
Mr. Orwell where'd you go
And when you’re 18 they take away your feelings
Cause when your retarded you won't need them
And you'll only do what they want you to
Their double speak version version of the truth
And when you’re all grown up they take away your dreams
Make you a cog in their machine
And you'll only be what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
1984 knocking at our door
Mr. Orwell where'd you go
We've seen this before
It always runs its course
Mr. Orwell where'd you go
When you’re old they take away your memories
So you can't learn from the past century
And you'll only recall what they want you to
Their double speak version of the truth
And when you’re dead they take away your bones
So when you’re gone no one will know
And your epitaph will forget too
Even dead men don't speak the truth
