From over the air comes a voice without care
Says we're doin' all right
But day out and day in from what he's been sayin'
I glance at myself and the world rushin' by
I can see for myself and the fear comes alive
Shades of termination--we're dyin' to survive
Machine is the mind--it will rule by design
I think to myself of the times we have tried
To be true to ourselves and to live with the lie
Avoid the contradictions--just keep yourself alive
I can't help it...i can't help it...i can't help it...
Life is your decision--we choose to do or die
Can you live with the reality of 1985
Polite conversation ain't no consolation
Amidst the confusion there lives the illusion
But i got a chance with myself if i try
To be sure of myself and myself choose to try
Fight for stimulation and love to stay alive
