big brother

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

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
