Weight Of The World Lyrics

(Synth Voice)
Pleased to meet you,
we're trained to drop bombs on you.
Shatter illusions,
connect the dots and yell the truth.
We'll trade fame sex and gold,
for a piece of your soul.

Pleased to meet you,
we came to drop bombs on you.
Shatter illusions,
connect the dots and yell the truth.
We'll trade fame sex and gold,
for a piece of your soul.

[Chorus]
Deceit, it will kill her.
Defeat, it will show what you're made of.
Retreat, never surrender.
You say you carry the weight of the world,
guess who's carrying you?

So no one told you,
they've been lying to us all along.
With thought controllers,
1984 is now.

Imagine there's no Lennon,
it might be hard, but give it a try.

Deceit, it will kill her.
Defeat, it will show what you're made of.
Retreat, never surrender.
You say you carry the weight of the world...

[Chorus]

And it's not "Imagine there's no Lenin", but "Imagine there's no Lennon". It's a reference to John Lennon's Imagine.

Misheard lyrics at it's best. :)

1980 for us now?

How cool is that for a misheard lyric?

Try "1984 is now" instead... you know just like the George Orwell book.

Genius :-)
