about

inspired by George Orwell's 1984

I wrote this song to attempt to examine some of the benefits of the IngSoc system as envisioned by Orwell. Sure, you're living under the boot of an oppressive, disembodied government at all times, but you are freed of so many of the day-to-day worries we all have in our current democratic/capitalist society.

- Levi Fuller

lyrics

FREEDOM OF SLAVERY - lyrics

It’s better this way, it really is
There’s so much I don’t worry about
What to eat, what to wear, whether somebody loves me
Or whether I love them.
Best of all, I never have to worry
About whether I’ll amount to anything
Whether I’ll ever do anything that anyone
will ever give a shit about

I’ve always been employed, I’ve always had a home
I’ve never been jealous of anyone
I’ve never wondered what happens when I die
I know the world will go on like before.
Best of all, I never have to worry
About whether I’ll amount to anything
Whether I’ll ever do anything that
Anyone will ever give a shit about

I’m like you and you’re just like me
It’s wonderful to be so free
