lyrics

Taxes serve there purpose
They keep the masses down
Whilst lining all the coffers
For the treasury and crown
Lining bulging pockets
As it's all frittered away
And the fabric of society
Crumbles and decays

The night streets are not safe now
It's no better by the day
Red tape stops policeman
Locking criminals away
And nurses near the breadline
Work on with little pay
As ignorant politicians
Wonder what's to eat today

Chorus
Big brothers busy
Watching you watching me
Controlling all you do
Controlling all you see
Democracy by proxy
So that none may have there say
Work like automatons
And surrender all your pay

On sinkhole estates
Up and down this fine country
Children open up their eyes
To a land of misery
So unfull of hope
And riddled with despair
The government playing lip-synch
To pretend they really care

Chorus
Big brothers busy
Watching you watching me
Controlling all you do
Controlling all you see
Democracy by proxy
So that none may have there say
Work like automatons
And surrender all your pay

Austerity hits the poorest
And strips dignity away
The world is getting crazy
And grows crazier by the day
War in the middle-east
Has stripped us all of peace
As innocence lays dying
On foreign cities streets

Chorus
Big brothers busy
Watching you watching me
Controlling all you do
Controlling all you see
Democracy by proxy
So that none may have there say
Work like automatons
And surrender all your pay
Big brothers busy
Watching you watching me
Controlling all you do
Controlling all you see
Democracy by proxy
So that none may have there say
Work like automatons
And surrender all your pay
