lyrics

We've entered the tent of the carnival barker
It's not like it was, America got altered
Facts don't matter, anything can be real
If you say it often and say it with zeal

Evidence is optional if your story goes viral
Just make up a source or point to a bible
It's not like it was, not like before
It's not like it was, not anymore

The Ministry of Love generates hate
They say that's what made America so great

The Ministry of Truth multiplies fake news
About you or anyone with any different views

The Ministry of Plenty only gives to the rich
What they take from the poor the old and the sick

The Ministry of Peace starts all the wars
They'll send you to your death then knock on your door

The Thought Police know what you think
They know what you do they know what you drink

It's not like it was, America got altered

We've entered the tent of the carnival barker
It's not like it was, America got altered
It's not like it was, not like before
It's not like it was, not anymore

It's not like it was, not like before
It's not like it was, not anymore

It's not like it was, not like before
It's not like it was, not anymore
