Wake up! won't you listen to me
|
Wake up! won't you listen to me
|
won't you listen to me
|
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 to big to pretend
|
|
CHORUS
|
(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, (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
|
But we've been here before
|
(Wake up), it's 1984
|
But we've been here before
|
All our lives leading up to this day, watching and waiting
|
|
Wake up! Wake up!
|
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
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Whole world is watching
|
Anticipating
|
Big brother's marching
|
Is it beginning or the end?
|
|
