Manic Street Preachers – Orwellian Lyrics

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
