Billy Squier - (ANOTHER) 1984 lyrics

From over the air comes a voice without care

Says we're down 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

Shade 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

Amid 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

1984
