	Story Behind the Song Regardless of what you are doing in your life, it's hard to escape the feeling that someone is probably watching you. That was the basis of this song's meaning, written during a time when the band, for what ever reason, felt as though they were living in a fish bowl. The music had been composed by Jack Shloze and Billy Alexander on guitar back in the early '80s. In 1984, Kirk Layne wrote the lyrics and melody, and Al Golehon added the powerful bass line and big Moog synth to complete what became known as "Big Brother". The band has been playing this song ever since, with great response from the listeners and audience. So, the next time you feel like you need to look over your shoulder, listen to Big Brother to see if you can relate. Lyrics Seen on a screen A machine Could it mean that it's Big, Big Big Brother Big Big, Big Big Brother Heard every word Every turd Every bird shot at Big, Big Big Brother Big Big, Big Big Brother The thought police are at my door And it's Big, Big Big Brother Big Big, Big Big Brother If I slip, will they know And if I doubt, will it show If I flinch, can they see Are all their eyes Trained on me Work when your told When your cold When your old 'Cause it's Big, Big Big Brother Big Big, Big Big Brother Step out of line Out of time Your last dime 'Cause it's Big, Big Big Brother Big Big, Big Big Brother The thought police are at my door And it's Big, Big Big Brother Big Big, Big Big Brother If I slip, will they know If I doubt, will it show If I flinch, can they see Are all their eyes Trained on... Stand at attention To the front we go Oh, what an honor Dying for Big Bro You see no escape now Hopeless now You don't know what to do Big Brother is watching you Last thing to try now Bow our heads and pray Life everlasting In our final day No hesitation Enter in and you'll know that it's true Big Brother can not see you
