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 fucking 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
