lyrics

The Patriot Citizens for Religious Freedom Act
Down is up, right is left, right is wrong
And your brain is hacked

When they want to make a law to restrict your liberty
They'll name it just the opposite
Something more warm and fuzzy
They think your liberty needs to be restrained
So that you can be truly free
Doublethink starts working on your brain
Let's call that Freedomfugacy

When they want to make a law to invade your privacy
They'll name it quite the opposite
Something oh so yummy
They think your secrets needs to be surveilled
To keep your privacy unveiled
Doublethink is alive and well
Let's call that Patriocity

Dear Mr. Orwell may we call you George?
It took a little longer but it's 1984

When they want to make a law to impose their own belief
They'll call it something different
Just like any common thief
Do you vote for wolves disguised in sheep's clothing
Because you think they eat the same thing you're loathing?
That's Doublethink you see
They call that Religiosity

When they want to pretend that they speak for you and me
They will do that oh so surreptitiously
Do you think they have your happiness in mind?
Do you really think your interests are aligned?
That's when Doublethink really shines
They call that Bourgeoisocity

Dear Mr. Orwell, may we call you George?
It took a little longer but it's 1984

The Patriot Citizens for Religious Freedom Act
Up is down, left is right, right is wrong
And the egg is cracked
The Patriot Citizens for Religious Freedom Act
Down is up, right is wrong, right is wrong
Right and wrong, wrong is right
And your brain is hacked
Down is up, right is left, wrong is right
And your brain is hacked
