World Of Screens

words and music by Erik Brandon

It was a bright cold day in April
And the clocks were striking thirteen
Winston Smith, without any warning,
Turned his back on his telescreen

And there he stands
His pen in hand
Trying to document what's going on
But it's absurd
When every word
You could use been removed from the lexicon

There is a girl that works in his office
And he can't get her out of his mind
There is a girl that works in his office
And he thinks that they're two of a kind

Cuz when the crowd
Is much too loud
She almost starts in rolling her eyes
With every glance
There is the chance
That he's finally found a person who can sympathize in this

World of Screens
Someone's always watching you
Baby in this world of screens
I know that 1 and 1 make 2
When it's just the two of us
No place that I'd rather be
Baby, in this world of screens
Freedom is slavery

So when his boss had them over for dinner
He was curious to see what's the catch
And when he let them into the inner circle
They felt it was a perfect match

Cr�me de la cr�me
Us against them
And we finally won't feel so alone
The Brotherhood
Doubleplusgood
Cuz we get to learn the meaning of the great unknown

Right on a day you that you least expect it
The truth is gonna drop in your lap
Inside a briefcase that looks just like yours
Very shabby with two black straps

Read every line
You'll fit in fine
To the rumor of a ghost revolt
Look to the sky
Just don't ask why
A lightning flash accompanies a thunder bolt in this

World of Screens
Someone's always watching you
Baby in this world of screens
I know that 1 and 1 make 2
When it's just the two of us
There's no place that I'd rather be
Baby in this world of screens
Freedom is slavery

It was a set up, that much they were sure of
The Thoughtpolice arrived to cart them off to MiniLuv
And there they learned a thing or two
About the only thing, the only thing that's true

When he awoke in a world of discomfort
Raw pain and barely alive
And every question there was a stumper
Was it four or was it five?

Mind numbing pain
Shot through his brain
Till the questions didn't make any sense
So he allowed
That empty cloud
To be shoved in the path of his ignorance

There was just one last step in the process
After that, he'd be totally done
If you just step right into my office
Here we are, Room 101

What should he say?
Could he betray
Something perfect just to make it all end?
Honest and sure
"Do it to her,"
As it called deep inside like a time honored trend in this

World of Screens
Someone's always watching you
Baby in this world of screens
I hope you don't betray me, too
When it's just the two of us
No place that I'd rather be
Baby in this world of screens
Freedom is slavery
Freedom is slavery
