The Interrogation from Silver Surfers by Silver Hunter

11. The Interrogation
(Music and Lyrics: Tim Hunter)

We always come for you at night
And wake you up with blinding lights.
Our faces never smile
There are no witnesses, no trials.
You’re wiped out, vaporised
And your existence is denied.
Then it’s Room 101, comrade
If you survive.
But the lucky ones always die.

It was your daughter who betrayed you
She was listening at the keyhole.
You were talking in your sleep
And she told the patrols.
You’re a stain that’s gotta be wiped clean
A flaw in the machine.
In Room 101 comrade,
No one can hear you scream.
Do you know what I mean?

It was only a matter of time
Before we found out your crime
We’re always watching you
Should you step out of line.

We’ll torture you until your mind
Is just a hollow, empty shell.
We’ll crush you and torment you
Really put you through hell.
You’ll confess to everything
And you’ll betray everyone.
Then you’ll be ready for Room101.
Room 101.

This is an updated version of a song written in 1976, which was broadcast on BBC Radio Leicester in 1977.
