Golden Earring - Orwell's Year Lyrics






We have been waitin' for this, to put an end to all this
Oh there's works to be done, oh there's work under the sun
Happy New Year
In the back alley, millionaire valley
Trafalgar, Time Square and the who knows where
Big Brother's watching you
Baby's got a computer tutor
Daddy is a trouble shooter
Fat cookie in a soylent green
From a kitchen that you've never seen
It's all shiny chrome - attaching your chromosomes
Say - count to four - Count to 1 - 9 - 84
Welcome, welcome to 1984
Orwell's year is here, Orwell's year is here

It's the ministry of energy
The ministry of ecology
The university of food and economy
The ministry of war and explosions
The ministry of you and me
Minus Orwell's sanity
Welcome everybody, to be a nobody
The ministry of heavenly peace
Big Brother's watching you
Orwell's year is here, Orwell's year is here

Say you wanna hear some more
Big Brother's watching you, Big Brother's watching you

Golden Earring Orwell's Year Comments
  1. W.... V....

    Op de lp staat hij niet. Later pas haastig als opvuller aan de cd toegevoegd. Doen ze wel vaker met hun beste nummers. Golden Earring moet haar fans grondig haten.

    Gaaf! Staat niet op mijn LP N.E.W.S. van 21 Records

    A.... T....

    On mine neither. I love this album, yet adding this song to it would give this album thé finishing touch. But, unfortunately...
    Btw: this is the B-side of 'When the Lady Smiles'...

    A.... T....

    It was the B side of When the lady smiles. Back in those days the flip side of a single was some kind of a bonussong or left over from the albumsession. Same with King Dark for example, b-side of Twilight Zone wich also is not on the Cut Album. And it was a push for selling the single 😉
    This song OY is the only song in the Earring catalogue wich is added when the cd was released years after the original LP.

    1984 years after Christ died brings us to 2017 so Orwell's year is almost here. The NWO is planning Famine, Disease, WW3, HAARP weather disasters & FEMA Death camps. The president is a puppet for the Banksters & so are the rest of the world leaders who are actors.....All the world's a stage !

    L.... ....

    What ? Did you make this comment 2 years ago ?

    L.... ....

    @really me , dude, the shite is about to hit the fan, WW3, Famine, Disease, Death camps, a fake War of the Worlds alien invasion with Nephilim Giant / animal hybrids.....Woe to earth & sea has 3 meanings, earth & sea weather/geo disasters, earth & sea WW3 war machines & earth & sea Monsters. Before they unleash the Beasts they will repeal the 2nd Amendment by assassinating Tiger Woods after he wins 3 more Majors to pull within 1 of Jack's record of 18 Majors. Now that LeBron 'king' James is playing for the LA Lakers of Fire he too is a NWO target. NWO agent provocateurs will incite race riots so the gov can declare Martial Law....LA will burn baby burn as planned by the NWO

    L.... ....

    @LordGandor3 People too busy bashing Trump and demanding a more stylish breed of lying tyrant.

    @Mark Rago , Satan is the Tyrant, Abaddon the destroyer of Revelation 9:11

    A little late'...But Orwell was right !
