Oingo Boingo - Wake Up (It's 1984) Lyrics
Wake up! Won't you listen to me?
Wake up! Won't you listen to me?
Won't you listen to me?
Big Brother's watching; we watch him back
He tries to scare us with angry words
But we all know that they're lies
Whole world is waiting
Just see the fear in their eyes
Whole world is watching; observing every move
Is it beginning or the end?
Just like a chess game, but so intense
That I just don't understand
Anticipation
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
Big Brother's screaming, but we don't care
'Cause he's got nothing to say
Think of the future; think of the prophecy
Think of the children of today
Big Brother's marching
So we all stand in his way
Open your eyes, sisters and brothers
Neatly disguised, so far away
Open your heart; try to remember
Two worlds apart, but so close
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
All our lives, leading up to this day
Watching and waiting
Wake up! Wake up!
Open your eyes, sisters and brothers
Neatly disguised, so far away
Open your heart; try to remember
Two worlds apart, but so close
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
Whole world is watching
Anticipating
Big Brother's marching
Is it beginning or the end?
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before
(Wake up), it's 1984
(Wake up), but we've been here before....

Oingo Boingo Wake Up (It's 1984) Comments
IT'S 1984!!!
Released: 7-26-1983
Bruh
Maybe they released it a year early as a WARNING for what was coming?...1984.
i am confusion
I AM AWAKE! I AM!
this song slaps
Damn, we HAVE been here before.
I wish it was 1984.
Play this at the Hong Kong protests
Note to younger listeners:
1984 has a double meaning here. Yes it's the year this song came out, but it's also the title of a George Orwell book released decades prior to that year about a dystopian totalitarian society.
Wayne Rocha weirdo

LOL. "What you are reading and seeing is not what is happening." - Donald Trump. "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." - George Orwell.

i should set this song as my alarm
Yep, you should
Only if you want to loathe the song... That's what happens to all of the ones I put as my alarm!
When I was in high school and shared my room with my youngest brother, I would play the start of this song at high volume just to wake up my poor brother. I bet he hasn't heard it since, but if I played it again....
