Big Brother Lyrics by Macy Gray

Talking Book

2012

[Verse 1]
Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the telly
Seeing me go nowhere
Your name is big brother
You say that you're tired of me protesting
Children dying every day
My name is nobody
And I can't wait to see your face inside my door, ah, ah
[Verse 2]
Your name is big brother (Your name is big brother)
You say that you got me all in your notebook
Writing it down every day
Your name is I'll see ya (Your name is I'll see ya)
And I'll change if you vote me in as the prez
The president of your soul, ooh, alright
And I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me around election time
Ah, ah-ha, oh yeah
Ah-ha, alright, here we go
[Bridge]
[Harmonizing]
And I live in the ghetto, yeah
Someday I will move my feet to the other side, ah-ha, yeah
What's your name?
[Verse 3]
My name is secluded (My name is secluded)
We live in a house the size of a matchbox
Roaches live with us wall to wall
You've killed all our leaders
And I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll 'cause your own country to fall
[Outro]
[Harmonizing]
