See the people on the streets? Well I can see them too
I know their names and numbers and exactly what they do
See the fellah on the telly? It's me who put him there
He's says just what I tell him and I think it's only fair

Well you know modern man with a short attention span,
Believing all the spin and I'm his greatest fan
Can tell him what I like, forgotten it in days
Perfect bloody timing to move with my next phase

With some funny little countries that don't like what I do
Well I'll soon sort them out with a military coup
And anyone left with a different belief
Will all be depending on my comic relief

'Cos I'm your Paranoid Big Brother,
And I'm watching over you
Like some psychopathic lover
I'll be working undercover

See the people on the streets? Well I can see them too
I know their names and numbers and exactly what they do
See the fellah on the telly? It's me who put him there
He's says just what I tell him and I think it's only fair, yeah yeah

'Cos it's got to start somewhere And my mind control starts there Yeah it's got to start somewhere

I am watching you now See everything you do and how
There's no escape for you now Cos I can hear you too now

'Cos I'm your paranoid Big Brother,
And I'm watching over you
Like some psychopathic lover
I'll be working undercover
As a company director
Or a government inspector
Or a curtain-twitching neighbour
With the face of another
