Someday they won't let you, 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 that you're eighty, but lover you won't care

You'll be shooting up this huge world, like tomorrow's wasn't 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 we've grown

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 jumped the 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 cooly decide to sell him down the line

Daddy's brainwashing time



He's a do do, no no didn't hear it from me

He's a do do, no no didn't hear it frm me



She doesn't recall her blessed childhood out of yore

When a unit was a figure not a she

When lovers chose each other seems the perk's are due

Another memo to screw



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

She's a do do, no no 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

Come to, turn you in



But the do do, no no, didn't hear it from me
