Someday they wont let you, now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isnt free
Youve read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on tv
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Theyll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that youre eighty, but lover you wont care
Youll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrows wasnt there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess weve grown
In 1984 who could ask for more
1984 who could ask for more
Now we can talk in confidence
Did you guess that weve been done wrong
Lies jumped the queue to be first in line
Such a shameless design
He thinks hes well screened from the man at the top
Its a shame that his children disagree
They cooly decide to sell him down the line
Daddys brainwashing time
Hes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
Hes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
She doesnt recall her blessed childhood out of yore
When a unit was a figure not a she
When lovers chose each other seems the perks are due
Another memo to screw
Shes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
Shes a do do, no no didnt hear it from me
Can you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photograph
Will you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jim
Come to, turn you in
But the do do, no no, didnt hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didnt hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didnt hear it from me
Another do do, no no, didnt hear from me
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 who could ask for more
1984 who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore
Mor-or-or-or-ore
1984
1984 mor-or-or-or-ore
1984
1984 mor-or-or-or-ore
1984
1984 mor-or-or-or-ore
