Doublethink Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In front of the screen
We stare at the light
And we listen to
Our Big Brother each night
[Verse 2]
Behind the eyes
We feel ourselves shrink
And slowly forget
How it feels to think
[Chorus 1]
Ignorance is my bliss
Don't want to fall out of this
Freedom is slavery
My mind won't ever help me, help me
[Verse 3]
What's this I read?
You betrayed me?
But I don't recall
I'm buried in doublethought, doublethought
[Chorus 2]
Ignorance is my bliss
Don't want to fall out of this
Freedom is slavery
My mind won't ever help me, help me, help me
[Bridge]
I'm still
Oh, I'm still alive
When the twos make five
Oh, they keep us alive
[Chorus 3]
Ignorance is my bliss
Don't want to fall out of this
Freedom is slavery
My mind won't ever help me
[Chorus 3]
Ignorance is my bliss
Don't want to fall out of this
Freedom is slavery
My mind won't ever help me
[Chorus 3]
Ignorance is my bliss
Don't want to fall out of this
Freedom is slavery
My mind won't ever help me
[Outro]
Help me
