"Someday they won't let you, so now you must agree 
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn't free 
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV 
Beware the savage jaw 
Of 1984 

They'll split your pretty cranium, and fill it full of air 
And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care 
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there 
Beware the savage jaw 
Of 1984 

Come see, come see, remember me? 
We played out an all night movie role 
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled 
In 1984 (who could ask for more) 
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore) 
(Mor-or-or-or-ore) 

I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride 
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side 
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in '65 
Beware the savage jaw 
Of 1984

Come see, come see, remember me? 
We played out an all night movie role 
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled 
In 1984 (who could ask for more) 
1984 (who could ask for mor-or-or-or-ore) 
(Mor-or-or-or-ore)

1984 1984 1984 (more) 
1984 1984 (more) 
1984"

This song may seem like a cop-out, since it's based directly on the book, but I think that's part of the beauty of it. This song talks of Big Brother and how he is controlling all the people by "splitting your pretty cranium" which is an interesting way to talk about brainwashing, and "filling it full of air", or useless information about how Big Brother thinks things should be.
