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 pulsars unreal

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

Please saviour, saviour, show us
Hear me, I'm graphically yours

[Chorus:]
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 every where
Lord, I'd take an overdose if you knew what's going down

[Chorus (3 times)]

We want you Big Brother
