Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
The times they are telling, and the changing isn't free
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
They'll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air
And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all-night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more?)
1984 (who could ask for more?)
(More)
I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984
Come see, come see, remember me?
We played out an all-night movie role
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more?)

I really think this album is fantastic and vastly underrated ---the guitar work (kind of nasty.. rough and full of distortion) really fit the 1984 theme. "We are the Dead" the "Sweet Thing-Candidate-Sweet Thing Reprise", "Big Brother" etc. all fit the theme. This whole album rocks. Get "David Live" and hear these tunes with David Sanborn on sax - awesome....
