On Charges of Thoughtcrime

Thoughtcrime does not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death
                   -George Orwell


If they have come to arrest me
  On charges of thoughtcrimes--
If I am in too deep this time
  For speaking out against mental piracy;

Then lock me in fetters
  And sentence me to hard time
But you should know, even imprisoned,
  I will have mental privacy

So if the Justice System aims to undress me,
  Mugshot me and take my belongings;
Then let them take me, number me
  And find self-satisfaction in labeling me a fool

Let them hang me from the highest gallows
  Or give me a good stoning--
I had sooner face a firing squad
  Than to be your f*****g tool

And if later it makes it onto TV
  Or you read about it in the papers
And if you are thinking: That poor, sweet boy--
  How he went and strayed

And if they add to the story;
  That my friends and I dealt in conspiratorial capers
Then it will help affirm one thing:
  I may be imprisoned but you are the one enslaved
