I've wore many masks and sat on their altars,
They've called me Hitler, and Muhammad Ali,
They've crucify me,
And forced me to be like them,

They forced me to live.
I am God, and the Devil,
The looser and the champion,

You spent most of it in Georgina Johnson's bed, clergyman's daughter.' So now I think Orwell quarried his title from there, too. — Christopher Hitchens
