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 Теперь ты должен признать, что однажды они достанут тебя, Времена, они говорят за себя, А перемены не даются даром, Ты читаешь об этом на чаинках, Ещё и песни по телевизору, Берегись жуткой приманки 1984-го.
Они расколют твой милый череп И наполнят его воздухом, Скажут, что тебе восемьдесят, Но тебе, брат, будет всё равно, Ты будешь ширяться всем, что попадётся, Завтрашний день никогда не наступит, Берегись жуткой приманки 1984-го.
Иди погляди, иди погляди, помнишь меня? Мы всю ночь играли в кино, Ты говорил, что это надолго, Но, кажется, мы записались в 1984-й.
Я ищу транспорт, я ищу тачку, Я ищу партию, я ищу себе союзников, Я ищу предательство, о котором узнал в 65-м, Берегись жуткой приманки 1984-го.
