1984
Yo, this is a story all about how, Society got flip turned upside down. So why don't you serve they party and just sit right there, And I'll tell you how I came to love Big Broth-air.

In Airstrip One born and raised, In Minitrue was where i spent most of my days, Avoiding uprisings, revisin' all of the time, Learnin' some Newspeak from my good buddy Syme. When this one little girl, Who was doubleplusungood Started havin' sex out in the countryside. We had a couple a' fucks and Julia gets scared She said We gotta find a place run by Proles to ride.

Upper class, yo, this is bad - drinkin' red wine out of a champaine glass Is this what the people of the Inner Party live like? Hmm this might be alright! But wait, I'm hearin' stuff from O'Brien, Is this the kinda place I should join the Brotherhood? Well I sure hope so, hope Goldstien get's here Prepared to acid babies, got no love for Broth-air.

Heard the whistle of a rocket And when it came near The Thinkpol said duck! and it blew some proles in the air, If anything, they could say Eurasia - fear! But I thought 'Nah, forget it, pro'lly done by Broth-air''

I tried to count all his fingers, 'bout four or five, And i yelled Yo, kill Julia, just leave me alive! Then I was down with the Ingsoc I was finally there To think War is Peace, cos I love the Broth-air.
