Wake up!
Won't you listen to me?
Wake up!
Won't you listen to me?

[C]
Big brother's watching, we watch him back
We see right through [F] his [Ab] disguise
[D] [C] He tries to scare us with angry words
But we all know [F] that the [Ab] light
[D]
Whole world is [C] waiting
Just see the fear [F] in their [Ab]
[C] eyes
[Cm]
[D] [C] Whole world is watching, he knows everything, every move
His ears are getting [F] all the air
[D] [C] Just like the chess game, but for weird attempts
That I just don't [F] [Ab] understand
[D] [C]
Anticipation
It's far too big to [F] be dead
[Ab] [D]

[C] Hush up!
It's 1984
[Cm] [Bb]
Wake up!
But we've been here before
[C] Big brother's screaming, but we don't care
Cause he's got nothing [F] to [Ab] say
[D]
[C] Think [Bbm] of the future, [C] think of the prophecy
Think of the children [F] of today
[Ab]
[D] [C] Big brother's watching
So we all stand in [F] his
[Ab] [D] way
[C] Open your eyes
The truth of hate is not in your sight
[Ab] It's far [D] away
Hold it in your heart
[Ab] Turn [D] your world towards the light [Fm] [C] Wake up!
It's 1984

But we've been here before [Cm] Hush up!

Big [Bb] brother's screaming, but we don't care
Watch it!

Wake up!
[C] Open your eyes
The truth of hate is not in your sight

Hold it in your heart
