Manic Street Preachers Orwellian
[Verse 1]
We live in Orwellian times
It feels impossible to pick a side
In sentences that dance and hide
The truth becomes a broken lie
[Chorus]
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could co-exist
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The futurе fights the past, the books begin to burn
Words wagе war, meanings being missed
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
[Verse 2]
We live in Orwellian times
A deepening sense of fear and crime
On the playing fields, in exclusive clubs
Under papal machines still making fools of us
[Chorus]
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could co-exist
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
Words wage war, meanings being missed
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
[solo]
[Chorus]
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could co-exist
Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
Words wage war, meanings being missed
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
