Canary in a Coal Mine
Be careful what you say
The thought police is listening
Be careful how you behave
Big Brother's always watching
They'll stitch up your mouth
After they cut out your tongue
Then put you to the scaffold
To proclaim what you've done wrong
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
The air gets thinner
Polluted by thoughts
Canaries in the coal mine
Committing thought crimes
The witch trials have begun
They want to see you burned
The song has been sung
The inquisition has returned
They stitched up your mouth
After they cut out your tongue
Then put you to the scaffold
To proclaim what you've done wrong
Guilty!
(Of thinking for yourself!) Guilty!
Guilty!
(Of speaking your mind!) Guilty!
Guilty!
(Of thinking for yourself!) Guilty!
Guilty!
(Of speaking your mind!) Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
The thought police is listening
Be careful how you behave
Big Brother's always watching
They'll stitch up your mouth
After they cut out your tongue
Then put you to the scaffold
To proclaim what you've done wrong
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
The air gets thinner
Polluted by thoughts
Canaries in the coal mine
Committing thought crimes
The witch trials have begun
They want to see you burned
The song has been sung
The inquisition has returned
They stitched up your mouth
After they cut out your tongue
Then put you to the scaffold
To proclaim what you've done wrong
Guilty!
(Of thinking for yourself!) Guilty!
Guilty!
(Of speaking your mind!) Guilty!
Guilty!
(Of thinking for yourself!) Guilty!
Guilty!
(Of speaking your mind!) Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
Guilty!
