The year is 1984
And nothing here is like before.
The word "before" exists no more.

Everybody talks in newspeak
And lives in fear their thoughts will leak.
Humanity's become too weak.

History means nothing to me.
It changes like the sands of time.
Truth or lie, to live or die,
I'm sure there's something more to find.

There just has to be.

Everybody loks around
To see the world, it's so profound!
Yet none of them ca hear the sound

Of truth that's ringing in the air,
Not that anybody would care
To take a stand.  No one would dare.

History means nothing to me.
It changes like the sands of time.
Truth or lie, to live or die,
I'm sure there's something more to find.

There just has to be.

I remember years gone by,
Before I asked these questions why,
Before I feared that I could die.

Things were not always this way.
They've kept reality at bay.
They've changed the facts of yesterday!

History means nothing to me.
It changes like the sands of time.
Truth or lie, to live or die,
I'm sure there's something more to find.

There just has to be.

I'm searching now for something more;
More than this life, more than this bore
Where sex is just another chore

And fun's thought as surperfluous
And nobody is curious.
The world's become monotonous.

History means nothing to me.
It changes like the sands of time.
Truth or lie, to live or die,
I'm sure there's something more to find.

There just has to be.

Everybody thinks the exact same thing
And not a single bit of true.
Half these people don't really exist,
And no one cared, 'cause no one knew!

I'm just a puppet in the puppeteer's hand,
But I'm not afraid to take a stand!
And if I die, then I die.
At least my life won"t be a lie.

History means nothing to me.
It changes like the sands of time.
Truth or lie, to live or die,
I'm sure there's something more to find.

There just has to be.

The year is 1984
And nothing here is like before.
The word "before" exists no more.

Everybody talks in newspeak
And lives in fear their thoughts will leak.
Humanity's become too weak.

Written for my English class. Our job was to read an independent book (I chose George Orwell's 1984) and create a response to it. I did so in the form of a long-ass song.

Created last night in the shower (my greatest inspiration comes to me in the bathroom). I'm pretty damn proud of it. Verses, chorus, it"s even got a bridge! *pets bridge* it sounds better with the music (also created by moi), but, like usual, c'est la vie.

1984 (el booko) (c) George Orwell, lyrics and music (c) me.

I can't find the full book all I get is the abridged book that's like only 200 pages.

Oh well I read it and I think this poem really comes out

i think this captures the mood of the book perfectly (or at least Wilsons thoughts), although i don't really like the book love the poem!
