I think this song (the greatest of all time, in my humble opinion) is done from the alternating points of view of the main characters in 1984.
-The first four lines are Winston's opinions of the party (please read the book if you don't know what I'm talking about)
-The next four are Julia ('I am idiot drug-hive, the virgin...' - she was a member of the junior anti sex league, and '....I do as i please' - she often had sex with party members, including Winston, against the party's plan)
-The chorus could be Winston and Julia in unison or just Winston.
-The next two lines, 'The first time you see yourself/Naked you cry/Soft skin now acne/Foul breath so broken' are O'Brien's interoggation of Winston.
-'He loves me truly....' is Julia
-'I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing.' The song's most famous line is Winston's despair at what the party thinks of him - that his opinions aren't valid and worthless.
-Next four are again Winston, even in his dreams he was plauged by the past.
-Repeat chorus
-'So damn easy to cave in...' is self-explanotory. it's not anyone in 1984, but just one of Richey's own sentiments.
That's just my theory anyway, might not be right but still...
