lyrics

“Under the spreading chestnut tree,
I sold you and you sold me”

Passive thought and induced opinions, the modern ghosts overwhelm the living
The “I” becoming “Us”: beware the TV swarm-mentality
Globalization, confirming and contradicting the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis

As the Net makes us one, confined and defined by the same restrictions
Hile to the Sneaker shoes! But only if they’re all the rage

Goodthinkful persons are Unthinkful Unpersons
Sometimes you’ve just got to stop others from thinking things for you
Computer is a human mind (though they say once it was the opposite)
Well my friend I think it’s time to take that shit and turn it off

An abstract womb, pulse through the air, bearing our identity
Our hi-tech Memory Hole consisting of a click

Goodthinkful persons are Unthinkful Unpersons
And please be aware that Newspeak is a programming language, too
Human mind is a computer (though the roles often trade places)
Well my friend I have to tell you it would be nice to turn it on

As the TV annihilates our decisional capability while we mumble staring at reality shows
Hile to the Movie Star! You don’t have to like him, but he sure is all the rage

Goodthinkful persons are Unthinkful Unpersons, the modern ghosts of our hi-tech era
And please be aware that Newspeak is a programming language, too
Human mind is a computer (though these days it’s often the opposite)
Well my friend I tell you it would be Doubleplusgood to turn it on
And now, for something completely different...
