Ivory Gates - Status Quo Lyrics

(Winston:)

I few days have come and gone since we had our conversation
And I`m still waiting patiently... patiently
Suddenly, in the mourning, out on my way to work
I feel a touch on my sholders... it was the suitcase with the book...

IGNORANCE IS STRENGHT
(Big Brother:)

I`m gonna make you blind even though your eyes can see
And when I feed you well like a dog you'll come to me
Do you think you're so free, that you can do what toy want?
I know you'll never look up where I`m controlling the strings

(O'Brien:)

As you're turning the pages you'll forget the fears
Forbidden lines of knoledge are getting clear

Everthing is planned, planned to keep the power
And there's nothing you (I) can do about it now
Everthing is planned, planned to keep control
And no one can change the atatus quo...

WAR IS PEACE
(Big Brother:)

I shall mantain the permanent enviroment of war
To garantee the permanence of the current order
Your need to belive in our ultimate victory
Will keep us strong as I create the illusion of peace

(O'Brien:)

As you're turning the pages you'll forget the fears
Forbidden lines of knoledge are getting clear

Everthing is planned, planned to keep the power
And there's nothing you (I) can do about it now
Everthing is planned, planned to keep control
And no one can change the atatus quo...

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
(Big Brother:)

I won't allow freedom or we could be enslaved
By those who can use freedom against us
I will fight all the acts of thoughcrime
It don't matter how, you know I'm alwys watching you...

(O'Brien:)

As you're turning the pages you'll forget the fears
Forbidden lines of knoledge are getting clear

Everthing is planned, planned to keep the power
And there's nothing you (I) can do about it now
Everthing is planned, planned to keep control
And no one can change the atatus quo...

(Winston:)

An iron voice, so deep
thunders in our room
And the picture on the wall... reveals the telescreen
