another 1984

Billy Squier

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
