2084 (The New Paradigm)

I'm so sick and tired of always hearing the same lie That nine to five slavery's the only reason for my life If I speak out of turn, they will cut out my tongue I'm not just a number in a machine, that controls everyone So dare to speak, cause you'll break the system And the party standing could start to cave in Cause only your thoughts can break the facade That your entire life is just a mirage I'll be the blemish on this model face of disgrace I'll be those words of truth, that you can't bear to taste I'll be the voice of change, so why can't you do the same? It's time for the new paradigm You can't put us in a box, and say we're dead inside Cause I know from these words that you say We're the only ones still alive So don't try to tell me resistance isn't part of existence Cause I'll never do a thing you say We'll rise up one day, and you'll see We'll burn your big brother down Until we're free We will rewrite the modern typical Cause our sanity is not statistical I'll be the blemish on this model face of disgrace I'll be those words of truth, that you can't bear to taste I'll be the voice of change, so why can't you do the same? It's time for the new paradigm They might try to make me the person on the telescreen Some enemy of the state, who resurrected Goldstein But they will never shut me up, they can't make my single thoughts a crime It's time for the new paradigm I can't pretend that I am not a human being I can't be calculated in my thinking And if I die, I know these words will all live on We can change the world, if we all remain strong So let them know they're wrong Soon they'll hear our voices from the street say You may control today, but not the next or before We won't hear or sing along to your hate songs anymore I refuse to live inside a world so fucking artless So we shall meet again in the place where there is no darkness I'll be the blemish on this model face of disgrace I'll be those words of truth, that you can't bear to taste I'll be the voice of change, so why can't you do the same? It's time for the new paradigm They might try to make me the person on the telescreen Some enemy of the state, who resurrected Goldstein But they will never shut us up, they can't make our fucking thought a crime It's time for the new paradigm
