Текст пісні 1984 - Devlin

1984

I hear a deafenin' silence, louder than screams on Epstein Island
Where the people you're idolisin' were doin' unspeakable things with minors
The media's usual blindness when the truth don't fit their narratives
Why would I want a TV license? I don't wanna watch that sack of shit
Made to indoctrinate our brains, program—get it?
It's all in the name, they want your mind in chains, havin' an opinion's hate
These sick fucks want a one-world state where they watch every movement you make
And take what you've worked hard to obtain, this world's dark, I'm afraid

I don't think we're livin' how we should no more
It seems we must've closed that door
We chose the wrong way
Seems as though we're livin' in what Orwell saw
Here in 1984
No longer humane

Somethin' turned in me since birth, it seems
Like we weren't livin' life right, even though that I know it could never be a
perfect dream
But we could do better than this, no one cares when they've got theirs
An equal share is often rare, that's why the poor all pay for the rich
I think that things might've gone a little wayward, look at everythin' we let
'em get away with
Can't walk home at night for getting mugged or raped in this place, it's
A dangerous matrix, created by sadists that play tricks
And make brains glitch, but I think I sense an awakenin'

I don't think we're livin' how we should no more
It seems we must've closed that door
We chose the wrong way
Seems as though we're livin' in what Orwell saw
Here in 1984
No longer humane

"Ignore what you see with your eyes" was the final vital command
Now the truth hurts more than lies for those that bought the façade
We don't wanna have a hivemind, we need to see through the mirage
'Cause he who controls the present will try to control our past

I don't think we're livin' how we should no more
It seems we must've closed that door
We chose the wrong way
Seems as though we're livin' in what Orwell saw
Here in 1984
No longer humane
