[Couplet 1]
If arrogance can be blind
I ain't surprised wen looking around
The golden calf, the political stand
Where givers take when giving a hand
The voters who relate, demonstrate
Put down then, by the media men
Computers catch a coded name, a loaded game
[Refrain]
Man we've come a long long way, but tell
Me where we're goin'
No one seems to know it for sure, hey tell
Me where are we goin'
Imagine me a fantasy and show it on a video
Yeah modern days, have modern ways
But is this the way we should go
Eighty four - coming on
Eighty four - this is the one
Eighty four - been waiting for
Eighty four - that's for sure
[Couplet 2]
An' woman's lib's getting bold
Emancipate is the courtesans call
The chauvinists are they going to seed
A looking glass supply all their needs
The digital brain is comin' out of the rain
Super micro chips give no lip
Scandal again, a government man
The U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. goin' nowhere fast
[Refrain]
Man we've come a long long way
But tell me where we're goin'
No one seems to know it for sure
Tell me where are we goin'
Imagine me a fantasy and show it on a video
Yeah modern days, have modern ways
But is this the way we should go
Eighty four - coming on
Eighty four - this is the one
Eighty four - say nor more
I can't say no more, it's nineteen eighty four
