David Bowie's lyrics engage my brain, I think this song relates to Orwell's novel..
Big Brother - David Bowie

I find his lyrics engage my brain..
Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal
He'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He'll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin,
then we can really begin

Here is another Bowie song, back from the early 70's too. He is pretending to be mad, or is that sane?...
All the Madmen
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlVbLgxokEo
Day after day
They send my friends away
To mansions cold and grey
To the far side of town
Where the thin men stalk the streets
While the sane stay underground
Day after day
They tell me I can go
They tell me I can blow
To the far side of town
Where it's pointless to be high
'Cause it's such a long way down
So I tell them that
I can fly, I will scream, I will break my arm
