Hey Big Brother

[mia]

This was a "local" concert recorded live at the Miami Marine Stadium back in 1971. The band worried about being electrocuted.

Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Welcome to the beat of the city street
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
Watching the time passing by.....
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better keep them on your side, big brother
Keep them satisfied
Focus your eye on the filthy sky
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting
Cause nobody wants to cry
And nobody wants to die....
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
And get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
(instrumental solos)
(speaking)
Hey big brother, I know you're out there somewhere
If we don't get our thing together, big brother will be watching us
He ain't gonna get me, are you gonna let him get you?
He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no
Big brother's coming
No he'll never get me, no no no no...
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
Hey big brother...
(repeat until the end)

1. Hey, Brother

[mia]

2. Hey Bro.

Big Brother loves you.

[Morning Dew]

4. Sorry for the derail

I just couldn't help myself.

And I love Big Brother !

Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark mustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding!

3. Sorry for my distraction.

But, I saw this performed live, by Rare Earth, in 1975.

I have not seen an equal percussion section in a Rock theme since.

Perhaps Blue Man Group (I know it sounds crazy), approximates it.


Sorry to detract from your message, but I absolutely love this tune. One of my all time favorites.

Now back to your very important point.

Again, sorry for the distraction.

[mia]

5. The point is.

You were there. A time to remember as you smile into old age.

[mick063]

6. Certainly

And the words were never lost on me as well.

Which is your point.

Peace brother.

[mia]

7. Peace.

Sis.
