lyrics

Nowhere to run, and nothing to hide, from the government's 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

*Chorus*

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”

“Ladies & Gentlemen our lord and savior President Ronald Reagan”
“Good evening my children, remember the Gipper's got his eye on you!”

What did your SAT say about you? Oh I see you’re a delta too
Speak softly big brother is near, never mind he’s already here

*Chorus*

Welcome to 1984, the oligarchy has pried open the door
Now the government is watching you Monitoring through your Apple II

“Don’t mind him, he’ll be taken care of”
