David Bowie - Big Brother Lyrics






Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel,
Give me pulses unreal

We'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
We'll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin,
And we can really begin

Please, saviour, save your shores
Tell me I'm rapidly yours

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you, Big Brother
Big Brother!

I know you think you're awful square
But you made everyone, and you've been everywhere
Lord, I'd take an overdose, if you knew what's going down

[3x]
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you

We want you, Big Brother
