Lyrics
INTRO:
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin nuzzled into his breast in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the glass doors of Victory Mansions, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him.
HOOK/INTRO:
I think I’m George Orwell
Jesus Christ
Coming up for air
Resurrected twice
One nation
I am God
You can keep your money
‘Cause I’d rather starve
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
VERSE 1:
Masquerading in a holiday by haven
Concentration camps prison guards parading
Red coats and simplistic entertainment
Chalets so fragrant nomadic scents of a vagrant
Dismaland cuts cut through pays of a pauper
Dear diary I feel like George Orwell is your author
I feel my fellow man has been abducted by flying saucers
And let free to roam the streets after brainwashing torture
The land of the free would've been hated by Jesus
Travel agents sold a lie we didn't know what either of these was
Water boarding and Guantanamo bay
Shit sounded like some great holiday
Deceitful hindsights a cunt can we figure out a prequel
It's against the laws of nature but 1% weighs down a see saw
These protests will not be peaceful as long as there are people
Who knew that assorted letters on a page could lead to something lethal
HOOK:
And may your money perish with you for you thought you could purchase with money what god gives for free
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
VERSE 2:
How much for your daughter said the man with 5 camels
As he attempted to do trade between 2 types of mammals
You laugh it off like this guy can't be serious
But a mammal is a mammal in that sense it's not delirious
Leave your morals at the door if you truly want logic
And prepare yourself for boredom and mediocre topics
It takes its toll fighting austerity with art
Like depressed online shoppers who's wish lists fill their cart
I surround myself with liars for the fact it entertains me
I think it's kind of sweet whilst the realism is savoury
Cunts like Jeremy Hunt getting lynched by the middle class
Stick him on a crucifix and leave him to get giggled at
I never got the saying how unchristian like
An eye for an eye where 2 wrongs make a right
Mathematically 2 negatives make a positive
They hung Saddame Hussain applauding murder like what's wrong with it
HOOK:
And may your money perish with you for you thought you could purchase with money what god gives for free
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
BRIDGE:
I think I’m George Orwell
Jesus Christ
Coming up for air
Resurrected twice
One nation
I am God
You can keep your money
‘Cause I’d rather starve
These bloggers tell me I should tweet more
I have nothing nice to say why the fuck should I speak more
Oi stop fucking with the water
You wanna tax my air, you cunts are out of order
Mother Nature, we can not afford her
So we burn her down, yes we rape we torture
Fucking little savages (Repeated)
HOOK:
And may your money perish with you for you thought you could purchase with money what god gives for free
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
George Orwell
G-G-G-George Orwell
OUTRO:
Is it fuck mate Jesus stood for everything your modern day church doesn't. Your church is like the equivalent of the first century Jewish temple. Full of classist cunts. There are people who still can't get access to clean water today in certain geographical parts of the globe but we quibble and about imaginary borders like some fucking false humanitarians. Fuck the nationalists. Fucking nationalists are just as at large now as when Hitler was ruling Germany. Fuck the nationalists and fuck the savage ancestors. And fuck you too.
