lyrics

here we go again
everybody gotta live
underneath your lens
the means justify the end
til you figure out
what freedom’s all about
you slip it past our brain
all you do is change the name

if you’re rich you’re not the upper class
you’re a job creator

here in 1984
corporations keep the world informed
and profits run the show
what you’re told is what they wanted you to know
so don’t believe these companies
it’s just the Ministry of Truth

look, they think we’re dumb
everybody gotta come
and see this world
cuz it’s 1984
thirty years too late
but we got there just the same
it’s perpetual war
here in 1984

when civilians die by drone attack
they’re just collateral damage now

in 1984
the moral highground’s just a name
cuz we don’t torture anymore
it’s just enhanced interrogation
so don’t mess with your Department of Defense
it’s just the Ministry of Peace

now we’re here again
we forget what freedom is
what it means to live
with the rights we’re supposed to get
so don’t let them win
because every chance they get
they just play with words
to make evil things sound good

now the fourth amendment’s gone away
and we got the Patriot Act

in 1984
corporations keep the world informed
and profits run the show
so what you know is what they want you to
in 1984
in 1984
here in 1984

Mayaenova Austin, Texas

Jam-packed with juicy 60s drum samples, spicy 70s-style bass licks, and caustic Bernie-cratic lyrics decrying the rampant income and wealth inequality ever since, DONOR REPUBLIC is a 20-song ode to freedom from corporatism, crony capitalism, and the corrupt political system in which we live. ... more
