"Hey Big Brother"

(As recorded by Rare Earth)

DINO FEKARIS

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
Keep them satisfied.

Welcome to the beat of a 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 eye, 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
Keep them satisfied.

Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's gettin' kinda tired of waitin'
'Cause nobody wants to cry, yeah
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
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

Woah, 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 keep them by your side, ah.
