We live in 1984

all we see in the media is double speak

people are getting arrested for though-crime

 mass mind control, it begins when we are born

 we live under constant surveillance, oyster cards, cameras

 everywhere you go, 'big brother is watching you',

nobody seems to care,

'if you have nothing to hide' is the common answer

loss of privacy

enslavement of the mind

no freedom of speech

we are doomed and there's more to come

things beyond imagination

we really live in a sick world

but don't listen to me, go back

and watch tv.

Mixing Songs

The sun is out

And the wind is blowing hard

So we stay inside

A Chameleon is being tattooed on my arm

Little girl playing on the floor

Laughter surrounds us

Funny things are being said

Everything we do, she wants too

Look auntie, Dorothy also has a tattoo

Isn't she so cute?

But the pain is now filling my brain

She looks at me wild eyed

Smiles and strokes my hair

Don't worry, she says

When you are done, you just have to eat

And it will all be fine

She's two and a half, so smart

She talks like a tagarela

Blending languages

Nao fecha seus eyes

And we all laugh and we are done

Que lindo! She says looking

At my green Chameleon

Auntie, will you sit next to me in the car?

She grabs my hand and this way we walk

She sings the whole way home

Mixing songs until she's asleep

Obey, obey, obey

That's what they say

Never ask questions

They are always right

Just comply

You have no choice

Buy, buy, buy

Stuff that you don't need

With money you don't have

As George Carlin said

Pay, pay, pay

That's what they say

Study to become a slave

Work to pay for your studies

Pay to work, pay to live

Wasn't living supposed to be for free?

Where's our freedom?

Isn't the world ours?

Why do I need permission

to visit another part of the world?

Imaginary lines

Separating us

Where's our freedom gone?

Nobody seems to notice nor care

I  feel despair

When I see that the world is

Far away from changing.
