1984

down at headquarters, there's a big database

with black and white photos of the side of your beautiful face

and your library record, and all your test scores

and an invitation to party like it's 1984



baby, don't look so nervous, they just want the facts

and it's all written out in the usa patriot act

cause we don't take no chances in a nation at war

so tonight we're gonna party like it's 1984



oh, honey, what did i tell you about the house being bugged?

they can hear us making breakfast, they can hear us making love

but excuse me a minute- big brother's at the door

and he's ready to party like it's 1984



you know you're my one and only; you always have been

sure is gonna be lonely after i turn you in

so i'll wait till tomorrow to file my report

and tonight we can party like it's 1984
