1984 Songtext
von The Kicks

I know I′m flesh and bone
But I know what I know
The children of America
Are ready to blow

People shakin up
And they're lossing control
Sick and tired of waiting
For their plate made of gold

You live inside the city
In your white picket fence
Apathy and greed
Are the name of your friends

The downside of the market
Was your only defense
And screwing us over
Was your main offense


It′s just the way its always been
I've seen it all before
Living something out
Of 1984
Hey, hey look away
People Ain't got much to say
Flying high and living large
Who do you think you are

Turn on the tv
And tell me what do you see
100, 000 faces coming out of the screen
Hold your breath and pray
Tell me what do you do
If uncle sam is pointing
His finger at you

You better watch your step
Or they′ll shake you to death
Reach into your pockets
And pull out what is left
You live like 1984
You had it all and wanted more
You′re done


It's just the way its always been
I′ve seen it all before
Living something out
Of 1984
Hey, hey look away
People Ain't got much to say
Ladies hanging on your arm
Who do you think you are

Heavy metal music
And the mark of the beast
The popular opinion
And the media feast

Corporation culture′s
Writing on the wall
Cash the check
Dodge the mess
And watch how hard you can fall

It's just the way its always been
I′ve seen it all before
Living something out
Of 1984
Hey, hey look away
People Ain't got much to say
Riding in your fancy car
Who do you think you are

It's just the way its always been
I′ve seen it all before
Living something out
Of 1984
Hey, hey look away
People Ain′t got much to say
Flying high and living large
Who do you think you are
Oooooo You think you've come so far
Who do you think you are?
