Big Brother Lyrics

(Gouldman/Gold)

Somebody's listening, a glass to the wall
They hear me lying in my bed
Running through my head, crazy
No conversation is safe from the vine
I know my dirty laundry hangs
On the telephone line
Somebody's watching, a fly on the wall
They know the secrets buried deep
Skeletons I keep hidden
Nothing is sacred from their prying eyes
I feel them peeping through the lid
Of my private life
You hear good morning as you walk in the park
A pleasant remark and the sun is shining
You read the paper, it begins to get dark
Big brother's watching you now
Somebody's sneaking through holes in the night
Somebody's knocking at my door
What's he come here for
They know I'm in here, my back's to the wall
I know I gotta get away, but I can't move at all
Oh, somebody's watching you
Oh, they see everything you do
You feel inclined to take a drive into town
Shopping around and the sun is shining
You meet some people that you've known all your life
Big brother's watching you now
Somebody's listening, a glass to the wall
They hear me talking in my sleep
Secrets that I speak out
No, no, no, no
Somebody's watching, and they're watching you
You know there's nowhere you can hide
In the room with the view
Nowhere you can hide
In the room with the view
