Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules,
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool.
We have the power to control the whole land,
You never must question our motives or plans.
Cos we'll outlaw your voices, do anything we want,
We've nothing to fear from the nation.
We'll kick you out your houses if you g et too much,
If we have to we'll destroy your generation.
We've built up a frontage and we've gained respect,
There's no-one to endanger our position.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
And we don't like people who stand in our way,
Awareness is gonna be redundant.
And ignorance is strength, we have God on our side,
Look, you know what happened to Winston.
Oh, we make the standards and we make the rules,
And if you don't abide by them you must be a fool,
We have the power to control the whole land,
You never must question our motives or plans.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
Standards rule OK.
