about

From the 1949 NBC University Theater's radio play for 1984 we hear party music opening this track, Winston and Julia make further arrangements to meet privately.

'Hey Big Brother' by Rare Earth is heard after this sequence. This is mixed with material from the audiobook for 1984 which details the party's version of London's 'future history' in the world of 1984 which Winston finds in a children's handbook and reflects upon.

From the 1984 movie, 1984--We hear the O'Brien character (played by Richard Burton) address Winston Smith in a dream at the end of the track.

lyrics

Hey big brother
As soon as you arrive
You better get in touch with the people, big brother
And get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied

Welcome to the beat of the city street
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
Watching the time passing by

[Chorus]

Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's gettin' kind of tired of waitin'
'Cause nobody wants to cry
And nobody wants to die

[Chorus]

Now that you got the picture
What you gonna do
Now that you got the picture
What you gonna do
