Story Behind the Song
Does anybody care that they are about to lose all their privacy and be watched 24/7 by the authorities? Guess not?
Lyrics
Big Brother
Walkin’ down the street, Big brother watches over me
Watches what I eat. He wants to know what’s inside of me
Strollin’ through the mall, Big Brother plays a song for me
Songs that make me sick He doesn’t want my kind around here
Chorus
Who’s lookin’ at you now? (Smile for the camera)
Who’s lookin’ at you now?
Hangin’ on platform three, Big Brother shines his light on me
He’s out to make me look bad, He hopes I’m leavin’ on the vain train
Plastic flies through the wall, Here we go another transaction
It doesn’t take long at all. How much have I got? and where have I been?
Chorus
Who’s lookin’ at you now? (Smile for the camera)
Who’s lookin’ at you now? (And don’t forget to say cheese)
Act of suspicion from a militant state.
You better be good, you better behave.
Big brother’s watching your every move.
It’s all here on tape, whatever you do.
The government doesn’t trust you.
The police don’t trust you.
Your mother doesn’t trust you.
We’re watching you
Betrayal of trust, personal moments, call it entertainment, we’ll see you on TV
Hidden camera, hidden enemy, total invasion of my privacy
Drivin’ in my car Big Brother takes a photo of me
Whether I’m here or far, he’s got my number, he checks my speed
Welcome to the ‘Game of the Day’ Hey, everybody has to play
You better sort out the rules? The third umpire is watchin’ you!
Chorus
Who’s lookin’ at you now? (Smile for the camera)
Who’s lookin’ at you now?
It’s a sidewalk line-up. Let the people be. This Big Brother’s not related to me
Who do you think you are? What do you hope to see?
I can’t trust you if you won’t trust me.
