My space. Big brother is watching.
Twitter, Big brother is watching.
Facebook. Big brother is watching.
Gimme a hi -five, cause big brother is watching

In the old days of political unrest
The FBI was put to the test
Sniff out subversives
Of the government
Weed out the commies
For your benefit
Joe McCarthy had a great idea
Scare the people into loving
The democratic idea
Hunt you down like voodoo
Tap your phone to see
Who you do
But all this is done
To make you feel safe
Big brothers' got your back
Make no mistake.
Give up your freedoms
And they'll make you feel safe
Big brothers got your back
Make no mistake

My space. Big brother is watching.
Twitter, Big brother is watching.
Facebook. Big brother is watching.
Gimme a hi -five, cause big brother is watching

Walking down the street.
You always feel safe
Cause there's always a camera
Watching your face
Watching you Buy dog food
What the hell they think
You gonna do

But I don't you could be a terrorist
Or maybe you're on somebody's
No fly list
I don't know you brother
But I'll tell you this
Gimme your face book page
And I'll add you to the list
Of people I'm friends with
But don't really know
just in case you mess up
the man knows where to go

Dumb down the people
With cell text speak
The less words you know
The less you can think

But all this is done
To make you feel safe
Big brothers' got your back
Ain't no mistake.
The need to be known
Is the carrot they hold out
False popularity
Is the shameless sell-out
.
And this is how we gonna keep
Our careful eye on you
Pay online, are you getting the clue
Email is secure as hell alright
Ask the hackers that stay up
each and every night
Ask the myspace predators
That track your kids
Or the identity thief
That lives in Madrid
Ask the people
You're friends with
But ain't never met
Who've seen inside your home
Your kids, your pets
They got satellites watching you at home
That can find you with your own cellphone

We give up our freedom
Like we take out the trash
Personal information
Uploaded In a flash
I know where you Work at
Where you went to school
I even seen pictures of your
New swimming pool.
I know what you read,
I know What you think
I know who you're dating
I know she's a skank
Our insecurity, egos
And narcissism
Makes it easy for big brother
To accomplish his mission
To Hunt you down like voodoo
Tap the social network
to see Who you do
got more laws
on what not to do
But finding a job,
there isn't got a clue

Dumb down the people
With cell text speak
The less words you know
The less you can think

But all this is done
To make you feel safe
Big brothers' got your back
Make no mistake.
