Hello my name is Winston
Smith.
My existence is no myth.
Even though I should be
dead
there’re things I have to
tell you instead.
I met up with this girl
named Julia in 1984
She had sex with a few
score.
You may think she was
kind-of a whore.
But she never let on that
she thought 2 + 2 is 4.
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
So, now what are you gonna
do?
The thought police.
The police patrol.
The Party wanted
To gain more control.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
War is Peace.
Will these slogans ever
cease?
Big Brother is watching
you
So, now what are you gonna
do?
Big Brother is watching
you
So, now what are you gonna
do?
Then I thought I caught
O’Brien’s eye
He was thinking the same
thing:
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
DOWN WITH BIG BROTHER
What problems will this
bring?
Your comrade may be
vaporized
Because the party never
compromised.
Just swallow your emotions
And continue your devotions
to the B. B.
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
The Inner Party members
put their evidence in a memory hole.
Keeping the conspiracy
secret would be their only goal.
Then the lie would pass
for the permanent truth.
And you would pay your
price if you found that this was uncouth.
The chocolate ration went
down from 30 to 20.
But you still thank Big
Brother for giving you plenty.
They give demonstrations
while really they’re in crisis.
How will we deal with the
razorblade prices?
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
They can make you say most
anything
But they can’t make you
believe it.
You’ll say what they want
you to say
Even if you can’t conceive
it.
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
Big Brother is watching
you.
So, now what are you gonna
do?
Now what are you gonna do?
Now what are you gonna do?
Now what are you gonna do?
Now what are you gonna do?
('cause) Big Brother is
watching you
Now what are you gonna do?
