Doublespeak

This may not be very political, but I love this song. It is called "Doublespeak" written by Thrice. The lyrics are based on the book 1984. I find them very scary and beautiful. Certainly a comment on our current political system and how the government needs to have less control before we end up in a situation like this. Anyway, here are the lyrics:

Thrice - "Doublespeak"

I drugged my heart with doublespeak
And all my misgivings disappear
It helps to keep my conscious clean
The ends will justify the means
And still I'm always careful what I hear

I don't wanna know who really pulls the strings
Just as long as it's not you or me

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey if think you have seen a crime you just look the other way

I slowly cut my soul away
And piece by piece I sacrificed
To comfort and piece of mind
I keep my toes on the party line
There's nothing wrong dear don't think twice

I don't wanna know who really pulls the strings
Just as long as it's not you or me

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey if think you have seen a crime won't you look the other way
There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
while the children dance and play
Honey if think you have seen a crime won't you look the other
Look the other way

There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey if think you have seen a crime won't you look the other way
There's a jackboot toe tap keeping time
While the children dance and play
Honey if think you have seen a crime won't you look the other way

I drugged my heart with doublespeak
(I drugged my heart with doublespeak)
All my misgivings disappear
(all my misgivings disappear)
It helps to keep my conscious clean
(it helps to keep my conscious clean)
The ends will justify the means
(the ends will justify the means)
Still I'm always careful what I hear
(I'm always careful what I hear)
