1984 Lyrics

Turn out the lights and then pray for your life

While the TV keeps spitting the prophetic lies

They can hear what you're saying and know what you're thinking

Your thoughts are now crimes with your hands held up against the wall

1984, welcome to the end of the world

1984, this was supposed to be an age of gold

1984, who's that knocking at the door?

1984, it's Dr. Who and the Incredible Hulk

Time after time we all fall back in line

And the joints of our bones are all starting to grind

Like your teeth in your sleep from the stress of the week

And the buildings are covered in plastics that burn to the ground

1984, welcome to the end of the world

1984, this was supposed to be an age of gold

1984, who's that knocking at the door?

1984, it's Dr. Who and the Incredible Hulk

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

(Nine-teen-eigh-ty-four)

Give us a break without breaking our chains

We are tethered by weakness and never complain

When the schools were all full the opposite view

All the students will unplug the jukebox and burn all the books

1984, welcome to the end of the world

1984, this was supposed to be an age of gold

1984, who's that knocking at the door?

1984, it's Dr. Who and the Incredible Hulk
