SPAR är det statliga person och adressregistret och DAFA var datamaskincentralen för administrativ databehandling. Runt 1990 kändes de som en symbol för att storebror staten visste var ditt hus bodde och fick ge namn åt denna låt i Orwellsk anda.
The secret police (and a yellow moon)
appearing suddenly and silently
from nowhere in particular
because you’re a dissident
They arrest you
they have read your file
In the early sixties
communism was your style
You cry out in anger
You cry out in vain
If you’re lucky
you won’t feel much pain
Registration, information
Big brother likes to watch
Domination, assasination
Big brother likes control
They take you to a windowless concrete building
where you have to stay for a while
It’s a mental hospital
When you leave you smile
You cry out so happy
You cry out again
Life is just wonderful
They’ve manipulated your brain
