Winston Smith (with audio)

Audio: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12443395

People think I'm arrogant…that I bully them with intellect,
Apparently, America's a pulley-system disconnected..
Prison sentence, victim-esque of cynicism it ingests,
It's a lesson in living less, inherently...with sin and death,
Been in debt, but warily...Introspective as Winston Smith,
And Big Brother had him in check--this isn't Chess, it's Internet,
And the tele-screens we've paid for...
We've traded freedoms for felonies, just keep telling me that we've saved more...
Our well-being is well-demeaning, self-esteem? Self-defeating,
Selling things and felling dreams, just tell me what we came for...
This evolution's an illusion; despondency heading to war,
Revolution's a delusion too...just not as...empty as yours,
He who campaigns for power...Abstains from honesty,
Handshakes for hours, but can't sustain the economy,
Back-braces are policy 'straightening facts'...Property,
Taxes break for cowards who landscape with our lottery,
Mandated hypocrisy, litigants fight to live with it...
Can't say it's democracy...if it's a crime syndicate...
Filthy souls and sparkling hands, everything done by push of a button,
Good-for-nothings looking for something, only stood for booking and judging...
Romancing darkening plans, loving money, and harvesting lands,
Corporations are running wild, orchestrating bargains with Man...
Trades ethical questions for edible cancers and medical marijuana like..
"What an incredible answer!"...Intellectuals wearing honor like,
'Targets' on their backs while shopping at 'Walmarts',
'Cause.. "I don't get into politics"...or colleges via scholarship,
And now that line between true genius and functioning alcoholic...
Is too fine to even acknowledge it...
America Strip One...The Orwellian Surveillance State,
Where characters switched up when your rebellion changed it's face,
O'Brian to Benedict Arnold…then Judas...
We'll turn on each other, and they're gonna use us.. to do it.
