A Simple ditty to start things off
One day they will come for you,
The thought police will come for you
For something that you didn’t do
The thought police will come for you
A small incision in your brain
You won’t feel a trace of pain
Then you’ll be thinking right again
They’ll keep you right and keep you sane
One day you’ll be one of them
Informing on your friends
You will not see the subtle line
Where truth and duty blend, but it’s there
One day they will come for you
For something that you did not do
The thought police will come for you
To check your thoughts and everything that you do

I had to click on this title, very catchy and poignant for our times. So much depth here, well done. Nice delivery too.

Really like this! Flows very nicely throughout. 'The thought police will come for you, for something that you didn't do' - The coolest lyric ever!

A simply ditty about a really knotty subject. I could get lost in the weeds for hours thinking about this kind of thing. Fantastic to hear it distilled so elegantly.

A dystopian ballad for dystopian times. Nicely done!
