Hey, Big Brother lyrics

Hey, Big Brother

As soon as you arrive

You better get in touch with the people, Big Brother

And get them on your side, Big Brother

And keep them satisfied

Welcome to the beat of the city street

Walk on now and don't be shy

Take a closer look at the people you meet

And notice the fear in their eyes, yeah

Watching the time passing by

Hey, Big Brother

As soon as you arrive

You better get in touch with the people, Big Brother

And get them on your side, Big Brother

And keep them satisfied

Focus your eye on the filthy sky

Just as far as you can see

Everybody's gettin' kind of tired of waitin'

'Cause nobody wants to cry

And nobody wants to die

Hey, Big Brother

As soon as you arrive

You better get in touch with the people, Big Brother

And get them on your side, Big Brother

And keep them satisfied

Now that you've got the picture

What you goin' to do?

Now that you've got the picture

What you goin' to do?

Hey, Big Brother

I know you're out there somewhere

If we don't get our thing together

Big Brother will be watching us

He ain't gonna get me

Are you gonna let him get you?...
