    E           B             A           B
Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules,
    A                              B
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool.
E           B           A              B
We have the power to control the whole land,
    A                       B
You never must question our motives or plans.
 
          C#m                    B
Cos we'll outlaw your voices, do anything we want,
      A          B             E
We've nothing to fear from the nation.
      C#m                            B
We'll kick you out your house if you get too much,
      A                              B
If we have to we'll destroy your generation.
 
      E          B            A               B
We've built up a frontage and we've gained respect,
        A                        B
There's no-one to endanger our position.

And we don't like people who stand in our way,
 A           B          E
Awareness is gonna be redundant.
    C#m                            B
And ignorance is strength, we have God on our side,
      A                         B
Look, you know what happened to Winston.
