Lyrics
1984
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Britains in trouble, countrys bled dry
handicapped and eldery have all gotta die
no one fights the system, fight with each other
the combine is laughing, scared of big brother
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
in 1984
Rats leave the sinking ship, theyve got their money made
third world countries, sending us aid
people queue up just to get their ration
not the birth, but the death of a nation
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
in 1984
Will there be some heroes,into 85
when the bomb is dropped,and how do you stay alive
Orwell said it all, he looked the future in the face
Giant test tube babies,build a brand new race
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
What are we gonna get
in 1984
