Kai Mata, Podsongs - It's Not 1984 Lyrics

To those who call for uprising
And bloodshed to begin

Who holler that the system
must be torn down from within

If you want to drive out the dark
Well stand up with light in your heart

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution
Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions
Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution
You're acting like it's 1984

An eye for an eye
Makes the whole world blind

With peace in your actions
There's peace in your mind

If you want to drive out the dark
Well stand up with light in your heart

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution
Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions
Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution
You're acting like it's 1984

In the cacophony, I hear a single melody
So would you come along and sing this song with me?

We can use harmonies to sing of what we dream this little world could be
You can be mad, you can be angry
In this time where words are feeling so unheard

We write songs about our worries
Sing out loud to share our stories
In the hopes that someone near or far can hear our words and feel them in their heart

You're acting like it's Nineteen Eighty-Four - And you need a revolution
Screaming for a storm rage and a war - trying to tear down institutions
Preaching hate, liberate, anger bait nothing more - we're in need of resolution
You're acting like it's 1984
