Billy Squier (another) 1984 Lyrics

(another) 1984 Lyrics

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
