Lyrics
Let George Do It
(Intro)
I. George wrote about an animal farm.
Where no animals came to harm.
They were equal and worked as brothers.
'Til some became more equal than others.
(Turnaround)
II. They broke their promises to me.
I can't forget when I was free.
There were times when I struggled to make it.
I wish for those days every mornin' I wake up!
(Chorus)
I loved those times back in 1984.
We had big hair. We didn't care.
'Bout nothin' but sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
Then, someone said, "Let George do it."
Someone said, "Let George do it."
(Turnaround)
III. Voted for no hunger or thirst.
Got some free stuff right at first.
Didn't have to work for a livin'.
I soon found out I was locked in prison.
(Turnaround)
IV. I didn't mean to make a face.
Th' camera alerted th' thought police.
It reported what it thought I was thinkin'.
Even though I was only smilin' and blinkin'.
(Chorus)
I loved those times back in 1984.
We had big hair. We didn't care.
'Bout nothin' but sex, drugs and rock and rock 'n' roll.
Then, someone said, "Let George do it."
Someone said, "Let George do it."
I loved those times back in 1984.
We had big hair. We didn't care.
'Bout nothin' but sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.
Then, someone said, "Let George do it."
Someone said, "Let George do it."
(Tag) Wish we had'n let George do it.
