This song touches on thought control, cancel culture and socialism, and the inevitable consequences of those ideas. The theme is that these thought process’ will devour themselves in the end.

Lyrics

Thought Police

Do as you’re told, don’t ever question the power that you see
You might end up somewhere you never thought you’d be
You’re already sold, you’re the victim, but you’re the last to know,
‘cause no one said it on TV

Pass the time away, careful you don’t say something out of place.
What has this become, everything’s undone,
Don’t ever cross the Thought Police.

Don’t be mistaken, Don’t cross the Thought Police
Don’t ever be mistaken, and never cross the Thought Police
(Never let ‘em know what you’re thinking,
never let ‘em know what you know)

Take what you want, it’s requisitioned, and everything is free.
Doesn’t matter where it’s from. Open your eyes,
pay attention, ‘cause losing everything has never been a lot of fun.

The needs of everyone aren’t worth what’s been done;
frittering away the single mind in place, the crimes of yesterday;
Only you can find your peace.

Don’t be mistaken, Don’t cross the Thought Police
Don’t ever be mistaken, and never cross the Thought Police
(Never let ‘em know what you’re thinking,
never let ‘em know what you know)

Let’s ban everything offensive, or if we disagree,
As long as we’re in charge. It doesn’t matter how expensive;
the cost of being free: send the bill to those at large

One day when you say say, something gone astray;
what a big surprise. Now it’s you’re offense, void of tolerance;
The crime of what you’ve lost is what you face

Don’t be mistaken, Don’t cross the Thought Police
Don’t ever be mistaken, and never cross the Thought Police
(Never let ‘em know what you’re thinking,
never let ‘em know what you know)
