Nowhere to run, and nothing to hide
From the governments prying eyes
Take yourself a soma holiday
and get some time away from the brain
Welcome to 1984
your apathy has opened up the door
now big brother is spying on you
Monitoring through an apple II
Take your mandatory soma injections
Hope you don’t mind if we rig the elections
Freedom of speech for those approved
Best shut up before your removed
Welcome to 1984
your apathy has opened up the door
now big brother is spying on you
Monitoring through an apple II
I say the police are on a killing spree
You say it means nothing to me
I tell you our democracy is now an oligarchy
You say it means nothing to me
I say “WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE”
“People of America, our lord and savoir, Ronald Reagan”
“Hello my children, Remember the police are there for OUR protection”
What did your S.A.T. say about you?
Oh I see you’re a delta too.
Speak softly big brother is near
never mind he’s already here
Welcome to 1984
your apathy has opened up the door
now big brother is spying on you
Monitoring through an apple II
Welcome to 1984
the oligarchy has pried open the door
now the government is watching you
Monitoring through your apple II

Ladies & Gentlemen

The time has come, the curtain is drawn to a crowd of men and monsters. Demons with twisted and distorted features. Writhing before my eyes. I look to Tommy; his skin is torn as the announcer says. “Ladies and gentlemen, The Bad Plants”
The guitar shatters in my hand, splitters borrow in to my skin. The stage moves and creeks as if to throw us off. As my molars tumble from my ma I look to Ricky as the announcer says. “Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bad Plants”
Ricky’s hand twists into a large four fingers claw that grabs my throat, and tears it out. As I fall to the stage grasping, holding my neck I look up as the announcer says. “Ladies and gentlemen, The Bad Plants”
The Crowd is gone, save for a single man. A figure in a black cloak as the announcer says. “Ladies and gentlemen for an encore, The Bad Plants”
