Lyrics

Praying to the silent man
A new day dawns
Behind acetylene tanks
A dog's lament
Wakes the new age
But falls in splintered fragments
Around his cage
Like everyone said there'd be
So much more to nineteen eighty-four
Rebel run
Don't shoot your gun
Rebel run
Run run run
Now get down
And stay down

Reactions/Reviews

From the Youtube page:

"Interesting vid, though, and very nicely done considering. Must have been so difficult working with VHS tapes - thank goodness for DVDs, eh?"

"my mum saw this in about 1983 at an early B7 convention in Reading. It was from video tapes and it was the hit of the occasion. Dan and dave had to do loads of copies."

Another fan remembers seeing it at Space City in 1985. [1]
