  HUMANWINE once again provides guidance in these dark times . . .

  Big Brother

  by HUMANWINE (M@ McNiss and Holly Brewer)

  Maybe you were right

  those steps behind

  start and stop as you do

  Hiding out of light

  irises

  reset as you move

  Maybe in the

  bank they're watching

  At your job they're watching

  Television's watching

  what your clone is watching

  It's a blunt set up

  under Caesar's lens

  and the beast is watching Everything

  Maybe you weren't off

  when you said

  We're just slaving for the man

  Bred in martial law,

  veiled in plastic thought

  of a secret means to ends

  Maybe big

  brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  Let 'em watch!!

  What are you gonna

  sit around and worry?

  Chewing your life to its tomb

  What have you

  given up on freedom

  before they've taken it from you?

  You're un

  happy and losing your mind

  You're naked

  weeping in the mall

  Shiveringly asking, "Why is

  Everyone looking at me?!"

  Arriving just in time

  Here's the men in white

  blurried through your tears then you

  Roll off to rubber rooms

  With doctors watching

  and the cameras watching

  and he watched all watching!

  Even if the eye

  on pyramids

  Is keeping track of

  Your every move

  You can't contain your thoughts,

  they're all you've got

  Just go and do what you do!

  So what if big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  big brother is watching

  Let 'em watch!
