[Verse 1] From England's shores, a watchful eye, He saw the lies the state would spin! Orwell said Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Orwell, stark and true! Big Brother's watching me and you! Heave ho, the boot upon the face! Remember truth in time and space! [Verse 2] When lies become the common tongue, And truth is twisted, bent, and sold, Orwell said In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Orwell, stark and true! Big Brother's watching me and you! Heave ho, the boot upon the face! Remember truth in time and space! [Verse 3] What does true freedom really mean? If not the right to speak your mind? Orwell said If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Orwell, stark and true! Big Brother's watching me and you! Heave ho, the boot upon the face! Remember truth in time and space! [Verse 4] The pigs declared with solemn air, That justice reigned for one and all! Orwell said All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others! [Chorus] Heave ho, for Orwell, stark and true! Big Brother's watching me and you! Heave ho, the boot upon the face! Remember truth in time and space!
