Make some promises that you have no intention To keep for the ones that count on you In four years, no one will remember So it's safe to spread some more lies Then when you make them fools believe You just have to play it safe And guard your own interests That's the way it works, that's the way they work Welcome to 1984, were the people have no will If you ain't got nothing to hide there's no need to be afraid He want to now what you been up to, Maybe you got a friend doing hish-hush Or worse maybe your own children, A computer full of bullsh** billboard songs So you see it's in the government's interest To prevent such an awful crime Such an awful crime Welcome to 1984, where the people have no will Politicians are sold and bought there's a price for every thought Welcome to 1984 where the people have no will Freedom of speech is the lie we're fed, while they strip us down to our last thread
