(another) 1984

from over the air comes a voice without care, says we're doin' all right, but day out and day in from what he's been sayin', we're in for a fight, i glance at myself and the world rushin' by, i can see for myself and the fear comes alive, shades of termination--we're dyin' to survive, 1984, machine is the mind--it will rule by design, so you're never alone, we store information without confirmation, accept the unknown, i think to myself of the times we have tried, to be true to ourselves and to live with the lie, avoid the contradictions--just keep yourself alive, 1984, i can't help it.i can't help it.i can't help it. life is your decision--we choose to do or die, can you live with the reality of 1985, polite conversation ain't no consolation, for blanks in your eyes, amidst the confusion there lives the illusion, that love will survive, but i got a chance with myself if i try, to be sure of myself and myself choose to try, fight for stimulation and love to stay alive, 1984
