Tempo Challenge:
Starts at 72bpm there for a bit
then accelerates to 164bpm then there for a while
then decelerates to 72bpm then there for a while
then accelerates to 164 bpm remains there to the end

lyrics

Ricochet the valley’s cry
Point your rifles to the sky
When your fate the moment meets
Who will beat a quick retreat?
All the rules have changed
Everyone talks strange today
You hear them say:
I will see your liberty
Raise you by iniquity
Use the old lines
As newly defined
Dislocate the company
For a great society
All in it together
We got the perfect plan you see
To remake humanity
Got a new name
For the old dead game
“Wake up it’s 1984”
Can’t delay it any more
All in it together

And the column digs quickly
While the townsmen turn sickly
It’s just a matter of time
No boats left in the river
Can our freedom deliver
It’s just a matter of time
No big wheel makes the grist turn
No more rain in the cistern
It’s just a matter of time
And no terms and no quarter
By the emperor’s order
It’s just a matter of time

Ricochet new slogans now
Don’t believe them anyhow
The company survived the day
Learned the proper things to say (and to not say)
All the rules have changed
Everyone talks strange today
You hear them say:
I will see your liberty
Raise you by iniquity
Use the old lines
As newly defined
Dislocate the company
For a great society
All in it together
We got the perfect plan you see
To remake humanity
Got a new name
For the old dead game
“Wake up it’s 1984”
Can’t delay it any more
All in it together
