Текст песни War Is Peace - John Nolan

War Is Peace

We’ve been solving all our problems by dropping bombs on them
Thank God we’ve got the TV screen to separate ourselves from reality
We can fantasize that other peoples lives are less important than our own
And it won’t matter who dies as long as it’s not someone that we know
So now war is peace
Slavery is freedom
And ignorance is strength
War is peace
Slavery is freedom
And ignorance is strength
These government gangs are bearing their fangs and I’m on the wrong side of the
law
But the man on the TV says I can have his help for just a small fee
I’m holding back my laughter, holding back my words, I’ll hold on to this drink
I pose no threat to your authority
No, I’m just horrified by the way that you think
You think war is peace
Slavery is freedom
And ignorance is strength
War is peace
Slavery is freedom
And ignorance is strength
You don’t want to change
You’re afraid and that’s how you’re going to stay
Sometimes I get the feeling that I’m talking in a language I don’t speak
I know how to say the words but I don’t know what they mean
I had a dream the other night I didn’t know if I was dead or alive
I felt conscious and aware and I felt terrified
Now war is peace
Slavery is freedom
Ignorance is strength
War is peace
Slavery is freedom
And ignorance is strength
