Someday they won’t let you, now you must agreeThe times they are a-telling, and the changing isn’t freeYou’ve read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on tvBeware the savage jawOf 1984They’ll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of airAnd tell that you’re eighty, but lover you won’t careYou’ll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrow’s wasn’t thereBeware the savage jawOf 1984(come see, come see, remember me? )We played out an all night movie roleYou said it would last, but I guess we’ve grownIn 1984 (who could ask for more)1984 (who could ask for more)Now we can talk in confidenceDid you guess that we’ve been done wrongLies jumped the queue to be first in lineSuch a shameless designHe thinks he’s well screened from the man at the topIt’s a shame that his children disagreeThey cooly decide to sell him down the lineDaddy’s brainwashing timeHe’s a do do, no no didn’t hear it from meHe’s a do do, no no didn’t hear it from meShe doesn’t recall her blessed childhood out of yoreWhen a unit was a figure not a sheWhen lovers chose each other seems the perk’s are dueAnother memo to screwShe’s a do do, no no didn’t hear it from meShe’s a do do, no no didn’t hear it from meCan you wipe your nose my child without them slotting in your file a photographWill you sleep in fear tonight wake to find the scorching light of neighbour jimCome to, turn you inBut the do do, no no, didn’t hear it from meAnother do do, no no, didn’t hear it from meAnother do do, no no, didn’t hear it from meAnother do do, no no, didn’t hear from meCome see, come see, remember me? We played out an all night movie roleYou said it would last, but I guess we enrolledIn 1984 (who could ask for more)1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore)(mor-or-or-or-ore)198419841984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)19841984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)19841984 (mor-or-or-or-ore)
