Lyrics:

The government sees all; there’s telescreens in the walls
Another dismal day, but don’t let your face betray
If they catch you, my friend, you’re never seen again
Just submit, don’t fight, and you might just be all right.

Don’t try to change things; you won’t get very far
Be a good citizen; support the troops in Malabar!
Have love for B.B., and hate the enemy
Just try to live your life, although nothing has been alright

Since the Party took over
Sometime during the sixties
Now it’s just war and fighting,
And BS on the telescreens
Big Brother is watching
Forget about privacy
All this is true and more
In 19, 19, 1984
1984

They can change the past, alter every line
Discredit memories, yes both yours and mine!
Not just the written word, but everything you’ve heard
You cannot know for sure what happened anymore!

And now we’re dumbed down, and empty
Stupid sponges ready to take anything
Even reality cannot be proven
We lost everything: facts, memories,

Human feelings when the Party took over
Sometime during the sixties
Now it’s just war and fighting,
And BS on the telescreens
Big Brother is watching
Forget about privacy
All this is true and more
In 19, 19, 1984

I really hate this life,
But I know they’ll kill me if I dare rebel.
Even my beliefs are a Thoughtcrime
I want this to stop, stop, stop!

But the Party took over
Sometime during the sixties
And now it’s just war and fighting,
And BS on the telescreens
Big Brother is watching
Forget about privacy
All this is true and more
In 1984

The Party took over
Sometime during the sixties
Now it’s just war and fighting,
And BS on the telescreens
Big Brother is watching
Forget about privacy
All this is true and more
In 19, 19, 1984
