Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive You better, get in touch with the people, big brother Better 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 Watching the time pa**ing by..... Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive You better, get in touch with the people, big brother Better keep them on your side, big brother Keep them satisfied Focus your eye on the filthy sky Just as far as you can see Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting 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 going to do? Now that you've got the picture What you going to do? (instrumental solos) (speaking) 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? He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no Big brother's coming No he'll never get me, no no no no... Hey big brother Hey big brother Hey big brother... (repeat until the end) -- Rick Jacobson
