Lyrics

Your name is big brother
You say that you're watching me on the tele
Seeing me go nowhere
Your name is big brother
You say that you're tired of me protesting
Children dying everyday
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door

Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook
Writing it down everyday
Your name is I'll see ya
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres
The president of your soul
I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me 'round election time

I live in the ghetto
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side
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
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall
