Strawbs - Big Brother lyrics

rate me

No work, we just got paid<br />

But we're not on our holidays<br />

'Cause there's not much to do<br />

When you got a big brother like you.<br />

<br />

We all have the right<br />

To go work, well if you like<br />

But we never do<br />

'Cause we got a big brother like you.<br />

We got a big brother like you.<br />

<br />

Tell me where will it end<br />

There'll be no work for the working men<br />

We're all lined up with nothing to do<br />

'Cause we got a big brother like you.<br />

<br />

Now all they ever say<br />

'Cause there's no work for you today<br />

So go and join the queue<br />

With the other poor beggars like you.<br />

<br />

And all I ever hear<br />

Is you're not qualified my dear<br />

You need GCEs and a high IQ<br />

If you want to join the chosen few<br />

Be one of the chosen few.<br />

<br />

Tell me what can we do<br />

There'll be no work for the likes of you<br />

Sit around all day with nothing to do<br />

'Cause we got a big brother like you.<br />

<br />

But oh how will it take<br />

For you to make the same mistakes<br />

For you will never turn back<br />

Or try to find another way.<br />

<br />

Tell me where will it end<br />

There'll be no work for the working men<br />

We're all lined up with nothing to do<br />

We'll sit around all day and listen to you<br />

But you can say what you like but you haven't a clue<br />

What a big brother should do.<br />

<br />

Now when the time is right<br />

We'll call on everyone to fight<br />

And we'll show them what to do<br />

With another big brother like you<br />

Another big brother like you<br />

With another big brother, we'll turn the screws<br />

With another big brother, we just can't lose<br />

With another big brother, 'cause we won't choose<br />

Another big brother like you<br />

Another big brother like you.
