THE ORWELL NIGHTMARE (For E.S.)
Lyrics
THE ORWELL NIGHTMARE (For E.S.)
There’s a man on the moon
With a telescope into your bedroom
There’s a man
With his ear to your wall
He’s the man locks you up
In Guantanamo, no trial, tough luck
He’s the man
Like to waterboard us all
It’s the NSA – ‘Mister USA’
It’s the IRS and the CIA
It’s the Orwell Nightmare of 1984
It’s your Facebook post
And your Twitter feed
All the evidence they say they need
It’s the Orwell Nightmare of 1984
There’s a man in your phone
Got your SIM card tagged
Your coordinates known
There’s a man
Watch you shopping at the mall
He’s the man with the pills
For your sex life, rotten life, urges to kill
He’s the man
Like to medicate us all
It’s the NSA – ‘Mister USA’
It’s the IRS and the CIA
It’s an Orwell Nightmare from 1984
It’s your Facebook post
And your Twitter feed
All the evidence they say they need
It’s the Orwell Nightmare of 1984
Get that waterboard and ask you one more time
Yeah, this is how we do it now
Change your profile, tell the world that you’ve been lying
Make you the enemy somehow
There’s a man, wants you scared
That the violence might erupt out there
There’s a man
Moving up as you move down
…
He’s the man plants the news
‘Bout the Christians, Muslims, Tamils and Jews
He’s the man
Driving freedom underground
It’s the NSA – ‘Mister USA’
It’s the IRS and the CIA
It’s the Orwell Nightmare of 1984
It’s your Facebook post
And your Twitter feed
All the evidence they say they need
It’s the Orwell Nightmare of 1984
