I saw one thousand ships
They were sat in the sea
And now I can't see those ships
Were they make believe?
Orwell's idyllic future
Has came to be
To countries they flee
They no longer see
Working class can no longer be free
(Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me)
I don't see my future
It's all make believe
Orwell's idyllic future
Has come to be
I don't see my future
It's all make believe
Orwell's idyllic future
Has come to be
I want to love a real woman
But Big Brother is watching me
Through the fifty-two inch television
He's in The Sun and the BBC
Well my wife, she doesn't love me
We live inside a one bedroom house
And it's fine, 'cause we're safe
'Til Big Brother comes and burns us down
(Under the spreading chestnut tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under the spreading chestnut tree)
I don't see my future
It's all make believe
Orwell's idyllic future
Has come to be
I don't see my future
It's all make believe
Orwell's idyllic future
Has come to be
To be
To be
To be
Big Brother's gonna save my soul
Big Brother's gonna save my soul
Big Brother's gonna save my soul
Big Brother's gonna save my soul
Big Brother's gonna save our soul
Big Brother's gonna save our soul
Big Brother's gonna save our soul
Big Brother's gonna save our soul
I don't see my future
It's all make believe
Orwell's idyllic future
Has come to be
To be
To be
To be
Has come, come from, come to be
