"Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past," and emphasizing the rejection of evidence:
"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command".
The Ministry of Truth's job involves constant alteration of records, making history a fluid, party-approved narrative, and showing how propaganda functions as an endless, self-reinforcing lie."

[Chorus]
Nineteen eighty-four knockin' on your door
Will you let it come? Will you let it run?
Nineteen eighty-four knockin' on your door
Will you let it come? Will you let it run your life?
[Verse 1]
Someone will be waiting for you at your door
When you get home tonight
Ah, yes, he's gonna tell you darkness gives you much more
Than you get from the light
[Verse 2]
Plexi-plastic eyeball, he's your special friend
He sees you every night
Well, he calls himself Big Brother but you know it's no game
You're never out of his sight
[Chorus]
Nineteen eighty-four knockin' on your door
Will you let it come? Will you let it run your life?
[Verse 3]
It's time you started thinking inside your head
That you should stand up and fight
Oh, just where will you be when your freedom is dead
Fourteen years from tonight?
[Verse 4]
Those plexi-plastic 'copters, they're your special friends
They see you every night
Well, they call themselves protection but you know it's no game
You're never out of their sight
[Guitar Break]
[Outro]
Nineteen eighty-four knockin' on your door
Will you let it come? Will you let it run?
Nineteen eighty-four knockin' on your door
Will you let it come? Will you let it run your life?
