(To the tune of The Real Slim Shady)
(Voice on telescreen)
May I have your attention please? Repeat: May I have
your attention please? Would the Real Big Brother please stand up? Repeat: Would
the Real Big Brother please stand up? We may have a problem here.
(Winston)
It's as if you have never seen his picture before,
Oceania's at war, there's no values anymore, we're all rotten to the core,
Ingsoc has no class like England was before, our army's force, bombs the
innocent and worse.(Ahh!) "It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way,
you're kidding, he didn't just say what I think he did, did he?" And Big
Brother said nothing you idiots! Big Brother ain't real, he's locked in our heads!
(Ha-ha!) Party Enthusiasts love Big Brother (*chigga chigga chigga*} "Big
Brother", I'm sick of him Look at him, staring at the ground, man those posters
are all around, watching the people for you-know-what! (Thoughtcrime!) Flippin the switch on people's life (Thoughtcrime!)
"Yeah, but he's so handsome though!"
(Winston imagines Big Brother speaking)
Yeah, I probably killed some thousands of people, but
no worse, than what you're all doing to each other! Sometimes, I wanna get on
Telescreen and just let loose, but can't but it's okay for Goldstein to
denounce me in front of all! Two Minutes Hate my bum! Listen to what's pouring
from his lips! And if I'm lucky, you might just give me a little chant! (B. B.!
B. B.!) And that's the message that we
deliver to little kids and expect them not to know what thoughtcrime is! Of
course they gonna know what treachery is By the time they hit fourth grade!
They got the Two Minutes Hate don't they? They ain't nothing servants! Well,
some of us Party freaks can shoot people like cans {*BANG*} But if He can
denounce the party then there's no reason why I can't get into people's heads!
(Winston again)
But if you feel like I feel, I got the antidote! Women
have affairs and secretly be happy and you're ripping the Party away!
(Big Brother)
I'm Big Brother, yes I'm the real Brother All you
other Big Brothers are just imitating So won't the real Big Brother please
stand up, please stand up, please stand up?
(Winston)
O'Brian is the
savior, he in the brotherhood he hates the Party principle, too! You think I
give a damn about the Party? Half of you people don't even know me, let alone
stand me! Why should you? So you guys could just turn me in to the thought
police? So you can, shoot me in the back of the head? So, will the real Big Brother please stand up?
(Big Brother)
And put all of those fingers on each hand up? And be
proud to be outta your mind and outta control and one more time, loud as you
can, how does it go? Ha ha! Guess there's some Big Brother in all of us, let's
all stand up
