THEY CAN’t TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME The way they claim the power To choose for thee and me The way they would devour Freedom: they can’t take that away from me They want to make me woke To bend and take a knee I’m just a freeborn bloke Oh! No they can’t take that away from me While they live their lives as princes Doling handouts all for free All I ask: leave what is mine and let me be The way I make my choice The way my mind’s still free While I still have a voice Oh! No they can’t take that away from me No! They can’t take that away from me

And Winston ended up loving Big Brother! Perhaps that is the scariest thing about those who now love Big Gov.
