Mental Minority~Dystopia Now + lyrics (from Orwell’s 1984 novel)

Power is in inflicting pain and humiliation Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing Do you begin to see, then, what kind of world we are creating? It is the exact opposite of the stupid hedonistic Utopias that the old reformers imagined A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less but more merciless as it refines itself Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement Everything else we shall destroy, everything Already we are breaking down the habits of thought which have survived from before the Revolution We have cut the links between child and parent, and between man and man, and between man and woman No one dares trust a wife or a child
