Lyrics
Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory
beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.
Power is in tearing human minds to pieces
and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.
The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness
and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better.
Happiness or Freedom?
War is peace!
Freedom is slavery!
Ignorance is strength!
Who controls the past controls the future.
Who controls the present controls the past.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four.
For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four?
Or that the force of gravity works?
Or that the past is unchangeable?
If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind,
and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?
What then?
