Bateaux panaméens,
marchands d^Òarmes françaisTueurs américains,
matériel japonaisCapitaux catholiques,
call-girls asiatiquesBig Brother is watching you !Des vrilles dans les dents,
les paupières brûléesVoyageur du sertao des déserts cendrésLes prisons sont fertiles et la vie si fragile ...Big Brother is watching you !Là où la CIA surveille le magotIl y a le KGB qui fait ton numéroEt si tu leur fais face,
ils t'tireront dans le dosBig Brother is watching you !Ton pognon se ballade dans de petits lingotsDe New York à Lausanne en passant par RioEt tu verses à l'épargne,
et tu verses à l'impôtBig Brother is watching you !T'es vivant camarade !
Ça vient d'être un délitFais ton autocritique sur ton crâne poliInscris ton matricule numéro du zombieBig Brother is watching you !Big Brother te regarde de son œil de plâtreParano et livide,
décervelé noirâtreOn arrive bientôt,
1984 !Big Brother is watching you !Je t'aime au plus profond au-dessus des salaudsMais aurai-je le temps de trouver mon îlotAvant que dans le ciel ne revienne à nouveauBig Brother is watching you !
