Doublethink (E.Goldstein mix) - NABILONE
---------------------------------

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. ... To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies -- all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth. -- George Orwell, 1984”

Imagine a time…

Where thought and speech were truly free!
Then imagine a time where there is no slavery, poverty or misery!
But is just so easy…
Just to believe and to deceive yourself

Doublethink is the capacity to maintain
contrary beliefs or opinions
at the same time
Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me…

And if it’s dependence that you seek
Then take your place among the weak
Yeah, bow down its easy...

If you deceive yourself..

You sold your soul this time
You sold us all this time
You liked it until now
But the Party’s demands have
Changed now...
But the Party’s demands have changed

I sold you...
and you sold me...
and this has got you worried because it
might effect you...

we all built this cage...Doublethink - it’s easy...
