Sons of 1984

Open your eyes and see
 The world I couldn't change for you
 Reach out your hand and take
 The world that will belong to you
 We were on our way to a better day
 And the spirit was in us all
 But as time went by we fell by the wayside
 Maybe you'll be the last to fall
 You are the only ones
 There is nobody left but you
 You are the chosen ones
 There is nobody else to choose
 Back when I was young, my hope was strong
 But the time blew it all to hell
 If I thought I knew what was good for you
 I would have gone and done it for myself
 Worlds of tomorrow
 Life without sorrow
 Take it because it's yours
 Sons of 1984
 I can still see the great panorama of hate
 Being cleansed by our loving hands
 But the brothers broke stride, the sisters cried
 Now you have to start all over again
