Paranoid Big Brother Lyrics

3 Daft Monkeys Paranoid Big Brother

See the people on the streets? Well I can see them too.
I know their names and numbers and exactly what they
do.
See the fellah on the telly? It's me who put him there.
He's says just what I tell him and I think it's only
fair.

Well you know modern man with a short attention span,
believing all the spin and I’m his greatest fan.
Can tell him what I like, forgotten it in days.
Perfect bloody timing to move with my next phase.

With some funny little countries that don’t like what I
do.
Well I’ll soon sort them out with a military coup.
And anyone left with a different belief
will all be depending on my comic relief.

’Cos I’m your Paranoid Big Brother,
and I’m watching over you.
Like some psychopathic lover.
I’ll be working undercover.

See the people on the streets? Well I can see them too.
I know their names and numbers and exactly what they
do.
See the fellah on the telly? It's me who put him there.
He's says just what I tell him and I think it's only
fair, yeah yeah.

’Cos it’s got to start somewhere. And my mind control
starts there. Yeah it’s got to start somewhere.

I am watching you now. See everything you do and how.
There’s no escape for you now. Cos I can hear you too
now.

’Cos I’m your paranoid Big Brother,
and I’m watching over you.
Like some psychopathic lover.
I’ll be working undercover
as a company director
or a government inspector
or a curtain-twitching neighbour
with the face of another.
