  2. George Orwell Where Are You? …(listen)

CHANGE THE PICTURE

Nobody's born a racist
Nobody's born a homophobe
Nobody's born a bully
They all learn that stuff at home
And in their churches, in the schoolyard
On the street, in the movies, on TV
Nobody's born with hate in their heart
It's what they learn from what they hear and what they see

So let's change the picture
Let's change the words
We can have a whole new conversation
And we just might change the world
Yeah, we just might change the world

Well, no one deserves to be beaten
No one deserves to live in fear
No one deserves to be murdered
Let's send a message loud and clear

That we can change the picture
We can change the words
We can have a whole new conversation
And we just might change the world
Yeah we just might change the world

‘Cause nobody's born a racist
Nobody's born a homophobe
Nobody's born a bully
Hey, they all learn that stuff at home
And in their churches, in the schoolyard
On the street, in the movies, on TV
Nobody's born with hate in their heart
It's what they learn from what they hear and what they see

So let's change the picture
Let's change the words
We can have a whole new conversation
And we just might change the world
Yeah, we just might change the world
We just might change the world

Linq attacks the status quo with the sharpness of a stiletto. Political folk/rock at its best.

CHANGE THE PICTURE, GEORGE! by LINQ is a 2-song enhanced CD with video that attacks the status quo with the sharpness of a stiletto.   Linq pulls no punches as she challenges us to look at the roots of hatred and prejudice to gain insight toward a more peaceful world, and she also provides an Orwellian wake-up call complete with an accompanying video in CDr format that can be viewed by computer.

“The A-Team” (June Millington on lead guitar, Jean Millington on bass, and Lee Madeloni, Janelle Burdell and Leo Adamian on drums) joined Linq in the studio to provide the perfect background for these heartfelt political statements.   June Millington produced the project at IMAeast and joined Linq in the accompanying video.

“You might call Linq a modern-day protest singer.” Guy-Michael Grande, Ear Candy/the Chronicle Middletown, CT  December 2006

GEORGE ORWELL WHERE ARE YOU?

Big Brother is watching
Can you feel him yet?
Big Brother is watching
Aren’t you upset?

We’re under surveillance
We’re under control
The party says that war is peace
It’s just blood for oil

George Orwell where are you?
We sure could use a little advice
This may not be 1984
But it sure feels quite The same

The Patriot Act
Is just wordspeak
What’s really going on here
Is an illegal game of hide and seek

Is this America
The home of the free?
Our freedom’s being taken
By the powers that be

George Orwell where are you?
We sure could use a little advice
This may not be 1984
But it sure feels quite The same

Big Brother is watching
Can you feel him yet?
Big Brother is watching
Why aren’t you upset? (3x)
