From the age of the thought police- greetings  From the age of big brother- greetings  From the age of newspeak- greetings  Welcome to the age of continuous warfare  We are the free; we are the peaceful  They're the aggressors and they are the hateful  Who are they?  We're defending democracy; we're protecting our borders  They resent freedom and they utilize terror  Who are they?  They lurk in the shadows  Endlessly plotting to destroy our very way of life  If you do what we say then everything will be fine  We will protect you as we live in the age of  Faceless  Nameless  Endless  War  Who controls the past controls the future  Who controls the present controls the past  We have that control  You submit to authority when you're residing in fear  So don't ever question and don't you dare criticize  Don't believe what you see, just accept what you hear  It's in your best interest that your knowledge is purged  It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words  War is peace  Freedom is slavery  Ignorance is strength  It's a beautiful thing the destruction of words  Once we control what's spoken we'll see no more dissension  Just politicized images to skew your perception  You can't trust your own judgment; you can't trust yourselves  So we will protect you from yourselves  We will protect you; we will protect you  You are a threat to yourselves  So we will protect you  You are a threat to yourselves  So we will protect you  It doesn't matter if victory is possible  This war is not meant to be won  It is meant to be continuous  And that's only possible on the basis of ignorance  The most practical way to keep our power structure intact  Is to keep society on the brink of starvation  So we, as the ruling class, will maintain our power  By waging war against our own population  We will break you'' we will break you  Keep your dissent to yourselves  Or we will break you  Keep your dissent to yourselves  Or we will break you  Here comes a candle to light you to bed  Here comes a chopper to chop off your head  From the age of the thought police- beware  From the age of big brother- beware  From the age of newspeak- beware  Beware of the motive in continuous warfare  You may thing we are free' you may think we are peaceful  But we're the aggressors and we are the hateful  Who are we?  We dismantle democracy; we invade others' borders  We repress freedom and we utilize terror  Who are we?  We'll drive you into the shadows  Forever destroying your very way of life  If you're not on our side then you'll be in our sights  There's no neutrality in our "war on terror"  We are the enemy; we are the enemy  Take a good look at ourselves  Because we are the enemy  Take a good look at ourselves  Because we are the enemy
