A Song for Orwell Lyrics by Not Half Bad

No Thanks EP

2011

[Chorus]
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
[Verse 1]
I look at the administration, they do everything they can
To make sure that things go their way it always seems to gеt to me
Listen to what I've said at this ratе soon we'll all be dead
If things continue on this way, We'll soon be facing judgment day
[Chorus]
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
[Verse 2]
They will start wars at their will
Train the youth to KILL KILL KILL
Brainwash the impressionable
All who question's fate is sealed
Big brother is watching you
Is there nothing we can do?
Be conscious and end their reign
We no longer play your game
[Chorus]
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
[Bridge]
(You see, the thing is, you shouldn't believe everything you read, or you see, or you hear. You should always question what someone lays before you)
[Post-Bridge]
They think all of us are blind
Any battlefield they'll find
Of the earth or on the ground or in the sea or in your mind
And as your good friend Orwell said
"Don't let yourself their lies be fed," be well versed
And be well learned and you will never be mislead
[Chorus]
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
[Outro]
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
I sold you and you sold me
There lie they and here lie we
Under The Spreading Chestnut Tree
