This song can be used to re3present both 1984 and Animal Farm. It can represent the nature in which the animals accept the pigs saying conditions are better and the way that the people accept what the party says about higher production of boots and such. It's because they are willingly ignorant to keep their peace of mind. They would rather not search for the truth because the alternative is believing that conditions are better rather than worse. This is summed up perfectly in the song.
"People livin' in competition all I want is to have my Peace of Mind ". This shows how Oceania is always at war and Animal Farm is always competing with the humans.
"Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin' doesn't mean too much to me." This reminds of the Junior Anti-Sex League and the party and how they openly "give advice to have no sex. It also shows how the party always advise people how to live their lives, i.e. morning exercise from the telescreen. The part about not meaning much to me represents Julia's and Winston's protest by having sex.
"Lots of people have to make believe they're livin'" It is so true in both books. The animals and people both have to pretend that their lives are better than before even though they aren't.
