Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your name is big brother
You say that you're watchin', me on the telly
Seeing me go nowhere
[Verse 2]
Your name is big brother
You say that you're tired of me protesting
The children dying everyday
[Verse 3]
My name is nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door, oh
[Verse 4]
Your name is big brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook
Writing it down everyday
[Verse 5]
Your name is I'll see ya'
(Your name is I'll see ya')
I'll change if you vote me in as the Pres'
President of your soul
[Verse 6]
I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me 'round election time
[Verse 7]
I live in the ghetto
But someday I will move on my feet to the other side
(Tell it to me, now)
[Verse 8]
My name is secluded
We live in a house the size of a matchbox
Roaches live with us, wall to wall
[Verse 9]
You've killed all our leaders
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall
