Someday they won't let you, but now you must agree

The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free

You've read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on TV

Beware the savage jaw

Of 1984



They'll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air

And tell you that you're eighty, but lover you won't care

You'll be shooting up as usual like tomorrow wasn't there

Beware the savage jaw

Of 1984



Come see, come see, remember me?

We played at an all night movie role

You said it would last, but I guess we rolled

In 1984 (who could ask for more)

1984 (who could ask for more)



Now we can talk in confidence

Did you guess that we've been done wrong?

Lies jump in queue to be first in line

Such a shameless design



He thinks he's well screened from the man at the top

It's a shame that his children disagree

They coolly decide to sell him down the line

Daddy's brainwashing time



He's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me)

He's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me)



She's doesn't recall her blessed childhood 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



She's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me)

She's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't 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

He's come to turn you in



Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me)

Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me)

Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me)



Come see, come see, remember me?

We played at 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 (who could ask for more)

1984

1984 (who could ask for more)

1984

1984 (who could ask for more)

1984

Ooooo
