Name: Stop Saying 1984 to Make a Point
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: This song is all about the misappropriation of George Orwell's 1984, a fantastic novel that has been chipped away at and turned into pop culture memes, misunderstanding important concepts of social control and free will in exchange for celebrity worship and consumer culture. Plus, people tend to reference 1984 without having actually read it.

lyrics

STOP SAYING 1984 TO MAKE A POINT by Andy Jackson

Fog head rusty cog in the wrong shed
Tucking in might’ve been what was not said
Patience waits while dirty plates
Pile up in a Jenga state

Fog head get along with the old bread
Sucked in to a scene where we’re all probably dead
Patient zero down the line
Paying off the unfair fine

Orwell won’t end well
The spit roasted pig smell
Is making us winston
Orwell won’t end well
The bean counting system
Is making us Winston
Smithing it

Fog head on the clocked out conveyor belt
Plugged in could’ve been how we all melt
Patiently in line to see
The powers systemoscapy

Fog head in the overload off the road
Wired up any moment now it will explode
Patient not on a ward
Gutters all we can afford

Orwell won’t end well
We can’t all live in hell
We are not winston
Orwell won’t end well
We’ve stories to tell
We will not winston

It’s not 1984, Black Mirror a little more
You missed what the stories for
It’s not an animal farm, stay still and remain calm
The future’s in your palms

By George it’s a miracle
Stop being so cynical
Orwell will end well
Cooperative world spell
No need to winston
