	This song was inspired by the book 1984 by George Orwell. Maily the book shows an apocalyptic future with little hope. This song is mechanical and evil just like the world imagined by George Orwell would be like in 1984.

	Story Behind the Song The lyrics in this song are taken straight from the book 1984. The slogan of the party is the first three lines of the song. While obviously self contradictory to those used to freedom, those in a repressed state often only have the information that is given to them by their oppressors leading to genuinely false statements to be regarded as true. Because the state says so. Now that is repression!! The reference to room 101 is important. Room 101 is the place where the members of the ministry of truth (no irony in that name is there) take those who don't believe the state's lies and are faced with their greatest fears to renounce reality. Pretty chilling all in all. Also the term big brother came from this book. A common slogan on the TVs and loudspeaker was Big Brother is watching. The lower class people in this world all recieved their books from the party and these were created entirely by machine without writers. I wanted this song to sound as if such a state run machine had turned out this organic piece of rythm to pacify the masses. Lyrics War is Peace Knowledge is Ignorance Freedom is Slavery Room 101 Big Brother is Watching
