I been you yes to you[?] Said the bug up on the wall This is 1984 And the reaper's come to call Said the fool to the wise man Or was it the other way But your heart is beating faster And your pulse begins to race It's a lie, I don't believe it It is all been said before But you better hold on something This is 1984 While the rivers of hypocrisy are rising to full-flood If you survive the waters, you're wading in the blood A flood of lies (2x) All you political leaders With your armies gone insane You lust for guns and violence While you never [?] And the churches stand behind you With wealth and piety When they empty their collection box The guns pool at their feet It's a flood of lies (2x) The religious and the righteous Who believe all you say They think their money saves the children But it buys guns to blow 'em away And the very same try to tell us What happened to the youth Why they take the money from the needy Without giving even the truth Now the rivers of hypocrisy are rising to full-flood If you survived the waters, you've been wading in the blood So happy New Year to you, trying to [?] again If we survive this year, we'll make it to the end A flood of lies (2x) Flood of lies A flood of lies
