Lyrics Orwellian - Manic Street Preachers

We live in Orwellian times
It feels impossible to pick a side
In sentences that dance and hide
The truth becomes a broken lie

Every way you look, every way you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could coexist

Every way you look, every way 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

We live in orwellian times
A deepening sense of fear and crime
Up on the playing fields in exclusive clubs
And the people machines still making fools out of us

Every way you look, every way you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could coexist

Every way you look, every way 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

Every way you look, every way you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
I'll walk you through the apocalypse
Where me and you could coexist

Every way you look, every way 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
