1984

Hey little brother I took a ride
From New York City to the port of LA
The same song playing every twenty minutes
And the radio talk is getting meaner all the way
And the music didn't change as I crossed state lines
Cops up ahead were like the cops behind
And if I closed my eyes I couldn't tell anymore
If it's 2003 or 1984

 

1984

 

Yeah the Man's got a right to know everything I say
Eye in the sky has a lock on the airwaves
The facts don't match the play of the day
They just scream a little louder God wants it this way
So let's ignore the truth it don't matter anymore
Cause it's 2003 going on 1984

Hey big brother you got masses
We got the people with a mind on their own

 

Hey big brother you got the power of a mighty army
And we got none

 

Hey big brother no offense intended
But (bleep) you when you hear this song

 

Cause the Man's got a right to know everything I say
Eye in the sky has a lock on the airwaves

 

The facts don't match the play of the day
They just scream a little louder God wants it this way
So let's ignore the truth it don't matter anymore
Cause it's 2003 going on 1984

Hey I've been thinking about crazy stuff like
freedom, democracy, stuff I'm not getting enough of

 

Hey I've been thinking about my mother that passed,
At 49 from cancer, what's up with that?

 

Hey I've been thinking about the man upstairs
He ain't God I'm sure of that

 

Cause a man's got the right to know everything I say
Eye in the sky has a lock on the airwaves

 

The facts don't match the play of the day
They just scream a little louder God knows it is this way
So let's ignore the truth it don't matter anymore
Cause it's 2003 going on 1984
