1984/Dodo - David Bowie
Someday they won't let you, but now you must agree The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free You've read it in the tea leaves, the tracks are on TV Beware the savage jaw Of 1984 They'll break your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air And tell you that you're eighty, but lover you won't care You'll be shooting up as usual like tomorrow wasn't there Beware the savage jaw Of 1984 Come see, come see, remember me? We played at an all night movie role You said it would last, but I guess we rolled In 1984 (who could ask for more) 1984 (who could ask for more) Now we can talk in confidence Did you guess that we've been done wrong? Lies jump in queue to be first in line Such a shameless design He thinks he's well screened from the man at the top It's a shame that his children disagree They coolly decide to sell him down the line Daddy's brainwashing time He's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) He's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) She's doesn't recall her blessed childhood of yore When a unit was a figure, not a she When lovers chose each other seems the perks are due Another memo to screw She's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) She's a dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) Can you wipe your nose my child Without them slotting in your file a photograph? Will you sleep in fear tonight? Wake to find the scorching light of neighbour Jim He's come to turn you in Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) Another dodo, no no, didn't hear it from me (didn't hear it from me) Come see, come see, remember me? We played at an all night movie role You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled In 1984, who could ask for more 1984, who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore Mor-or-or-or-ore 1984 1984 (who could ask for more) 1984 1984 (who could ask for more) 1984 1984 (who could ask for more) 1984 Ooooo
