Take a look at your parents that's what you're headed for
It should give you a fright
They might as well been dead for the last thirty years
But they're nice and polite
There's nothing in their future 'cept the nursing home they've worked for all of their life
They waste their f****** lives but they still have the nerve to try to manage your life
1984
Knocking on your door
Will you let it come?
Will you let it run your life?
Living in a world where life's just a game
A game you've already lost
You go to school for twelve years where you learn just one thing
How not to mind being bossed
Oh you'll learn to follow orders when each day's just the same
And they all use the same voice
Just where you'll go to work for the next 50 years
That's your freedom of choice
You know you're 'well adjusted' when you don't seem to mind
That cops are always around
You're repeating useless gestures, that's no cause for alarm
Where there's no life to be found
Well it's time you started thinking inside your head
That you should stand up and fight
1984's been here for the last 40 years so
Destroy what bores you on sight
It should give you a fright
They might as well been dead for the last thirty years
But they're nice and polite
There's nothing in their future 'cept the nursing home they've worked for all of their life
They waste their f****** lives but they still have the nerve to try to manage your life
