Fairy Dust
Welcome to 1984
I read Ziggie's diary again and again, it was the first 3 chapters I had to re read just to follow along completely. I found this worn leather book in one of the suitcases and it intrigued me but perhaps it was just the sheer boredom that drove me to continue reading the messy print. Danger randomly began singing and I hid the book under my make shift pillow.
"-can't you see the writing on the walls-" Bob joined him.
"Democracy lays trampled on the floor..."
"Who sings that?" I ask.
"It's Welcome to 1984 by Anti-Flag." they taught us all the words and soon we were singing the whole thing.
"Who would Jesus bomb? Yeah, who would Jesus kill?
The double talk is past surreal
The word of god is now the word of hate
War is peace, and freedom is the police state
Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Democracy lays trampled on the floor...
You better believe that...
Hell yeah I'm confused for sure what I thought was the New Millennium is 1984!
Mr. Orwell from the grave, adding fresh ink to the page
As the unpresident declares an endless war...
Welcome to 1984!
Feels like Nazi Germany, and Hitler on TV,
As the unpresident spews his homophobic speech
Didn't the Allies fight a war to end extremist fascist law
So tell me NOW what the fuck are we fighting for?
I just can not take it anymore
Democracy lays trampled on the floor...
Man, isn't freedom great?!?!
Hell yeah I'm confused for sure what I thought was the New Millennium is 1984!
Mr. Orwell from the grave, adding fresh ink to the page
As the unpresident declares an endless war...
Now we've got...
Armies of peace, armed to the teeth, delivering death to make the world a better place
So celebrate the weapons spending, say a toast to Armageddon, raise some hell!
We're all headed straight to hell!!!

Welcome to 1984!"
We sung it over and over until it was only Gerard singing. His voice, I must admit, was like a dying angels. Absolutely perfect to my ears. We all watched him as the words naturally flowed off his tongue. He stopped and reviewed our expressions.
"What?"
"That was amazing." Ray commented.
"What was?"
"Your voice."
"It was?"
"Uh yeah!" Mikey said.
"It was like an angels..." I mumbled so only he could hear. He glanced at me but ignored it.
"I miss my drums..." Bob switched the topic.
"You play drums?" Mikey asked.
"Yeah, you?"
"Guitar."
"I play rhythm guitar!" I spoke up. "Mikey plays base!" we chatted about it and also finding out Danger played piano.
"We have enough to make a band!" Mikey giggled. Bob laughed.
"That would rock!"
"Why don't we do it?" Gerard asked. He had fire in his eyes.
"Yeah!" everyone agreed but I said nothing.
"We need a name!"
"The Victims?" Ray asked.
"Lame."
"The warriors?"
"I'm sure thats a football team somewhere..." Mikey said. We argued over it for hours until Mikey blurted out MCR or My Chemical Romance. He got it from some book. After we began to doze off again. Really, I'm not looking forward to being in a band with Gerard. Still, I'll do it for Mikey and the others.
