about

A re-recording and a remake of the song from the Boys will be Boys EP. The intro was an attempt to do like The Clash in Magnificent Seven, Youth Brigade in Men in Blue Part 1 and Peter and the Test Tube Babies in Pissed Punks (Go for it). Don't think we ever did that live even once. A classic case of seemed like a good idea at the time...

This track appears on the compilation We Don't Need Your Nuclear Force, Mülleimer, 1986.

lyrics

1984 (Part 2)
What the fuck we're living for
There ain't no future in 84
What the fuck we're living for
There ain't no future in 84
There ain't no future in 84
Then what the fuck we're living for
There ain't no future in 84
Then what the fuck we're living for

Before it was 83 now its 84
Then what the fuck you're living for
You ain't got no future, same for me
What the fuck, let me be
Before it was 83 now it's 84
Then what the fuck you're living for
You ain't got no future, same for me
What the fuck, let me be

Governments they come and go
What the fuck, it's the same show
So many people blinded by their lies
They haven't seen the reality
Governments they come and go
What the fuck, it's the same show
So many people blinded by their lies
They haven't seen the reality of today

1981 and it wasn't that fun
1982 not a shit for me and you
1983 what's it gonna be in 1984?
Is it worth living for?

Before it was 83 now it's 84
Then what the fuck we're living for
You ain't got no future, and the same for me
What the fuck, let me be

Chorus:
1981 and it wasn't that fun
1982 not a shit for me and you
1983 hey, what's it gonna be in 1984?
Is it worth living for?

The future is an unwritten story
But it's got the power and it's got the glory
It's our future which we ain't control
People in misery and people on the dole

Chorus:

The cold war is here to stay
And it's always gonna be that way
Until the hell breaks lose
It's up to us so you'd better choose
Reality today

So the governments they come and go
So what the fuck, it's the same show
So many people blinded by their lies
They haven't seen the reality of today

Chorus:
