lyrics

Oh, there’s agents of the thought police that sure as death are watching me
All day long
And with telescreens in every room, it guarantees that I can do
You no wrong
No matter where, I can’t escape that giant poster of your face
That says, “I’m watching you”
Oh, I love you, Big Brother, because I have to

My body utters silent moans. An aching deep within my bones
I can’t explain
And though the facts say otherwise, the thought that won’t escape my mind
Is that you’re to blame
But when the crowd, it screams in rage at every two minutes hate
I can’t help but join in, too
Oh, I love you, Big Brother, because I have to

After all that you have put me through, I know as long as I’m with you
I’ll be fine
And if you were to ask of me, I’d tell myself that I believe that
Two and two make five
It’s over now, I’ve won the fight. The bullet that will end my life should be
Coming soon
Oh, I love you, Big Brother, because I want to

It’s over now, I’ve won the fight. The bullet that will end my life should be
Coming soon
Oh, I love you, Big Brother, because I want to
Oh, I love you, Big Brother, because I want to
