1984 might be a good year But it won't be so good for you and me They've already got us surrounded There's nothin' but disharmony You don't realize they got you categorized So subtle it can't be detected They got a chain around your brain and you might as well be lame It's too late you're already infected, ha Universal love can be a good thing If everybody stays on their own soil It's when everybody tries to get together That's when the blood begins to boil Birds of a feather will always flock together No matter what the situation But when they tried to build the Tower of Babel It turned out to be God's damnation It turned out to be God's damnation It turned out to be God's damnation, hey Though a man has walked in space Sent a rocket up to the moon We're still no nearer to the stars In fact we're running out of room Destruction is a black mushroom (Mushroom) Growing out of politician's hands (Oh yeah, yeah) This government speaks about freedom (Freedom) But they bring nothing but destruction to the land (Ow) Absolute power corrupts absolutely (Yeah) We need decentralization (What's that supposed to mean?) Cut down the power and you'll cut down the size (That's right) That's our only salvation, whoa Though a man has walked in space Sent a rocket up to the moon We're still no nearer to the stars In fact we're running out of room We're living on a marble, we're living on a marble There go your feet, there go your knees There go your hips, there go your waist There go your elbows, your shoulders There goes your heartbeat
