Lyrics 1984 - Anaïs Mitchell
Down
at
headquarters
There's
a
big
database
With
black
and
white
photos
Of
the
side
of
your
beautiful
face
And
your
library
records
And
all
your
test
scores
And
an
invitation
to
party
Like
it's
1984
Baby
don't
look
so
nervous
They
just
want
the
facts
And
it's
all
written
out
in
the
USA
Patriot
Act
Cause
we
don't
take
no
chances
In
a
nation
at
war
So
tonight
we're
gonna
party
Like
it's
1984
Oh
baby
what
did
I
tell
you
About
the
house
being
bugged
They
can
hear
us
making
breakfast
They
can
hear
us
making
love
Excuse
me
a
minute
Big
Brother's
at
the
door
And
he's
ready
to
party
Like
it's
1984
You
know
you're
my
one
and
only
You
always
have
been
Sure
is
gonna
be
lonely
After
I
turn
you
in
So
I'll
wait
till
tomorrow
To
file
my
report
And
tonight
we
can
party
Oh
tonight
we're
gonna
party
Yeah
tonight
we
can
party
Like
it's
1984
