Winston smith

He sits at the top table,
Like a bulldog his mouth droops
His eyes tell the story
As he deploys his troops
A cigar smoking maniac
And power is the key
As they trample on the souls
Of the children of the free
he turns and gives orders
To his second in command
With weapons of mass destruction
They invade this foreign land
Manipulate the people
Its all about control
Corpses scattered everywhere
Like the death of rock and roll

Dead flies melt on the toilet lights
Scribbled on a wall a bill of rights
A mushroom cloud explodes in my mind
They've planted a dirty bomb
Which your never going to find
I'm an enemy of the state
and I'll fight them tooth and nail
They will take away my freedoms
Lock me up without bail
Slavery equals freedom, its 1984
Armed police in riot gear kicking down your door
Big brothers watching you
From the cameras in the sky
As you walk along the pavement
While this world passes you by
Rendition is there weapon
Kiss goodbye your human rights
Orwell saw it coming like a bad dream in the night
Marshall law is waiting to pounce upon its prey
They will herd you up like cattle
and take your liberties away

This is the 21st century
Theres something seriously wrong
I hang my head in shame
What the fuck is going on

This recession's like a cancer
As its victims fall to their knees
Pensioners freeze to death
As they feel the financial squeeze
The banks plead poverty
There debts will suck you dry
They will leave you on the pavement
while there limos pass you by
Africans are starving
theres homeless on our streets
World leaders eat nine course meals
With designer labels on their feet

This is the 21st century
Theres something seriously wrong
I hang my head in shame
What the fuck is going on
