lyrics
The telescreen's coming alive, and it's permeating the room.
Leader's voice presides, clandestined to meet my doom.
(PRE-CHORUS)
And what we think that we know.
Wrap it up and call it status quo, yeah.
For years I thought I was safe in the streets,
Now child you know I can feel the heat.
(CHORUS)
Mighty is the pen. It is a little less adept to keep itself alive.
When the captain says, “Smoke 'em if you got 'em, boys,”
those words won't last the night.
And listen son, hear it from a wiser man.
You better learn to burn it 'cause
When they say that kind of secret it can kill a man dead...
Believe me it does.
Nothing left to fear in this world, girl, except the fear of being alive.
And if the firebugs under your bed burn your home,
don't lose your head, 'cause it's time, it's time, it's time.
(PRE-CHORUS)
(CHORUS)
