Lyrics for Sons of 1984

Open your eyes and see The world I couldn't change for you Reach out your hand and take The world that will belong to you We were on our way to a better day And the spirit was in us all But as time went by we fell by the wayside Maybe you'll be the last to fall You are the only ones There is nobody left but you You are the chosen ones There is nobody else to choose Back when I was young, my hope was strong But the time blew it all to hell If I thought I knew what was good for you I would have gone and done it for myself Worlds of tomorrow Life without sorrow Take it because it's yours Sons of 1984 I can still see the great panorama of hate Being cleansed by our loving hands But the brothers broke stride, the sisters cried Now you have to start all over again
