LYRICS

The unenlightened masses
They cannot make the judgement call
Give up free will forever
Their voices won’t be heard at all

Display obedience
While never stepping out of line
And blindly swear allegiance
Let your country control your mind
(Let your country control your soul)

Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
When blood and sweat is the real cost
Thinking ceases, the truth is lost
Don’t you worry
You’ll be told exactly what to do
I give my people the lives they need
The righteous will succeed

The fires of greed will burn the weak
So we’ll make freedom obsolete
Making whole the fabric of society
Collective consciousness controlled as you will see

(Let your country control your soul)
(Let your country control your soul)
(Let your country control your soul)
(Let your country control your soul...)

The passive backward masses
Are the result of what I’ve sought
A shepherds might surpasses
The sheep who need to know their slot

Display prosperity
While never having what to choose
Indifference is equality / makes you equal
Let your country control the truth

Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
You’ll never learn of the real cost
Until you lose what you love the most
Don’t you worry
I’ll make world a better place to live
Where everyone will be rich and free
Or is it just for me?

The fires of faith will burn the weak
We’ll silence all who disagree
Making whole the fabric of society
Collective consciousness controlled as you will see

Indifference is equality
Misery is prosperity
Prohibition is liberty
Indifference is equality

My favorite musical adaptation of Gorge Orwell's 1984

[Jonansions]

"You should try fighting for what *you* believe in sometime Jack, not for a company or for a nation or for anyone else."

[kaiserepsilon]

"Indifference makes you equal, so let your country control the truth."
"You'll never learn of the real cost, until you lose what you love the most."
"The fires of faith will burn the weak. We'll silence all who disagree."

How can anyone add on to an already perfect piece so well?

[TheCabritoGoat]

Red is going to be lit. Still, this song was the bomb during Armstrong versus Sam

[caesarplaysgames]

“Indifference makes you equal so let your country control the truth” is actually such a fire line bravo to whoever wrote the added lyrics.

[Yarinoyami]

I can imagine it may feel stifling to you guys to have such high demand for the “same” thing, but, damned if I don’t hope to see every song from this game covered by you guys—your fault for making every single cover so fire~

Lovely new lyrics and lovely handling all around!

[spiritcat]

I really wanted to hear the line: "the human heart is obsolete", which was in fact in the first version of the song, but the cover version is also good.

[UsagiAxy]

The greatest part about your covers is that you understand the message of the songs so you create new lyrics to extend it

WHY ARE YOU GUYS SO GOOOD

[jchristopherson]

Let me control your soul. Great job! 🤘🔥🎶🤪

[seanstubblefield]

The cover was already awesome, but this vid elevates the message in so much excellence. This one is a little more EXTRA than your last few. I always notice the detail you guys put into your production-- song AND vid, and wish I could go through all of them with you in person to pause and applaud each one (visual and auditory). And you could show me what I missed. So much to appreciate. You guys should be proud of your work. Very happy that I've been able to partake and support this amazing artistry. I suspect you intended this primarily to reflect Russia, but it sadly also applies to America.

[RoosterJacket]

"I'll make the world a better place to live where everyone is rich and free. Or is it just for me?" That line is so fuckin raw

[Goldskull]

I feel like homelander from the boys would have this song somewhere in his playlist, ngl, this is a great cover, I love it

[dominickhicks]

Wow even the loudspeaker effects, you guys always put a LOT of production value in your covers

[dspac]

The new Senator out here spitting bars and sounding amazing. This cover is so good on so many levels. The tie: on point, visual effects: I didn't know I needed, New verse: absolute fire and something armstrong would definitely say (y'all are so good), and finally, the vocals, as always: Perfection. Truth is indeed might in our world and this reflects that well.

[SLYKM]

Memes aside, this is a great cover musically and lyrically. Always like that you guys add your own meaning to the songs. The themes of MGR are relevant so long as there is war in the world.

[thereallegitimatemontblanc]

making the mother of all covers here, jill, cant fret over every note!

[marcmaserosalvado]

Literally my favourite alongside Stains of Time. Can't wait

[TheMKZero]

FINALLY! Finally someone has made a kick ass metal cover of this song! And it, of course, is fantastic and amazing and you guys killed it with the added lyrics.
Thank you thank you!

What I love about Collective Consciousness is that it makes all political sides question themselves. It calls us all out. Many people say this song is talking about socialism, or capitalism, or fascism. The truth is, it talks about us all in some way, people frenzy to point fingers at each other, but they're all partially correct.
