So, does anyone know if "2+2=5" is about 1984? Anyone? I'm not too sure if there's a connection, but it seems to be there.

Are you such a dreamer?
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
Where two & two always
makes up five

I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag & hide
January has April's showers
And two & two always
makes up five

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream & you
can shout
It is too late now
Because

You have not been
paying attention

I try to sing along
I get it all wrong
Ezeepeezeeeezeepeeezee
NOT
I swat em like flies but
Like flies the burgers
Keep coming back
NOT
Maybe not
"All hail to the thief"
"But I am not!"
"Don't question my authority
or put me in the dock"
Cozimnot!
Go & tell the king that
The sky is falling in
When it's not
Maybe not.

Yeah, I remember that from 1984. There was some kind of theme where whatever the government told you was right, you went with it, even though you knew it was wrong. Like, you know 2+2=5, but you couldn't argue with the government and tell them it was really 4.

I think I'm right... I didn't really read the book in my English class last year, haha. I'm sure Eric will correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Yeah, no I read the book and know that part. I'm wondering if the song by Radiohead, "2+2=5", has anything to do with the book. lol.

oooooooh. *stupid moment*

I don't think I've heard that song. I assumed you were reading the book for your english class.
