(Another) 1984 - Billy Squier

From over the air comes a voice without care

Says were doin all right

But day out and day in from what hes been sayin

Were in for a fight

I glance at myself and the world rushin by I can see for myself and the fear comes alive

Shades of termination--were dyin to survive

Machine is the mind--it will rule by design

So youre 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

I cant help it… i cant help it… i cant help it…

Life is your decision--we choose to do or die

Can you live with the reality of 1985

Polite conversation aint no consolation

For blanks in your eyes

Amidst 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
