1984 Blues

Sad as it may seem, this song depicts the enslavement the powers-that-be want for humanity. This may not be what you see and prayerfully, all of it doesn't come to fruition. Any constructive feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Just noticed my rhyme scheme differs from verse to verse, dang....now how did that happen? Probably 'cuz I wrote some of it while working on my phone and then the rest when I got home at my computer. Oh, well, such is life.

1984 BLUES

V1

They don’t want you on a plane

They don’t want you on a train

They don’t want you in a car

They don’t want you going very far

They want you on a scooter

Home on your computer

AI as your tutor, yeah

V2

Oh, and they want you behind a gate

Being nobody great

Dependent upon the state

Psychotropics, the bait

Oh, and they want you on a scooter

Home on your computer

A blowup doll your suitor

CHORUS

Oh, and you can’t say Orwell

No, you can’t say Orwell

No, you can’t say Orwell didn’t have a clue

Awh, ‘cuz looks like 1984 has come true, yeh

V3

They don’t want you on a plane

They don’t want you on a train

They don’t want you in a house

Want you timid as a mouse

Oh, and they want you on a scooter

Home on your computer

AI as your tutor

[Music]

V4

Oh, and they want you tracked and traced

On earth, every single face

The entire human-race

They want us erased

Oh, and they want you on a scooter

Home on your computer

A blowup doll your suitor, yeah

CHORUS

Oh, and you can’t say Orwell

No, you can’t say Orwell

You can’t say Orwell didn’t have a clue

Awh, ‘cuz ooks like 1984 has come true..
