adapted power

language is extensive and it never knew what to think
for the reader's sees their contemporaneous reality
contradictory beliefs in one's mind blink
ignorance is strength, they'll write with formality

hail to the thief is a novel illustration
that government can warp what a person holds true
confessing isn't betrayal, can't make you believe it
room 101 can never get inside of you

she betrayed you, immediately, unreservedly
i held the candle as she lit up your bed
two mutually contradictory meanings allegedly
with a chopper to cut off your head

who controls the past now controls the future
isn't what you want me to know contradictory?
who controls the present now controls the past
at every moment, the lustful thrill of victory

i have seldom seen anyone come over so promptly
you would hardly recognise her if you saw her
all her rebelliousness, her deceit, her folly
her dirty-mindedness - crimes of the saboteur

it was a perfect conversion, a textbook case
they threaten you with something undeserving of
something you can't stand up to, and then you pray,
'don't do it to me, do it to somebody i love'

the sensation of trampling on an helpless enemy
if you want a picture of the future to be
imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever
i don't see what anyone else can see in anyone else - but me
