D#                 C#     A F#
Now it is nineteen eighty-four
D#             C#         A F#
Knock knock at your front door
D#                   C#       A F#
It's the suede/denim secret police
D#                      C#     A F#
They have come for your uncool neice
 
(same chord progression; getting faster...)
 
Come quietly to the camp

You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp

Don't you worry, it's only a shower

For your clothes here's a pretty flower...
 
(...and faster...)
 
DIE on organic poison gas

Serpent's egg's already hatched

You will croak, you little clown

When you mess with President Brown

When you mess with President Brown
