| Wake up! |
| Won’t you listen to me?
|
| Wake up! |
| Won’t you listen to me?
|
| Won’t you listen to me?
|
| Big Brother’s watching; |
| we watch him back
|
| We see right through his disguise
|
| He tries to scare us with angry words
|
| But we all know that they’re lies
|
| Whole world is waiting
|
| Just see the fear in their eyes
|
| Whole world is watching; |
| observing every move
|
| Is it beginning or the end?
|
| Just like a chess game, but so intense
|
| That I just don’t understand
|
| Anticipation
|
| It’s much too big to pretend
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| Big Brother’s screaming, but we don’t care
|
| 'Cause he’s got nothing to say
|
| Think of the future; |
| think of the prophecy
|
| Think of the children of today
|
| Big Brother’s marching
|
| So we all stand in his way
|
| Open your eyes, sisters and brothers
|
| Neatly disguised, so far away
|
| Open your heart; |
| try to remember
|
| Two worlds apart, but so close
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| All our lives, leading up to this day
|
| Watching and waiting
|
| Wake up! |
| Wake up!
|
| Open your eyes, sisters and brothers
|
| Neatly disguised, so far away
|
| Open your heart; |
| try to remember
|
| Two worlds apart, but so close
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| Whole world is watching
|
| Anticipating
|
| Big Brother’s marching
|
| Is it beginning or the end?
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before
|
| (Wake up), it’s 1984
|
| (Wake up), but we’ve been here before… |
