Uhm, I'm not saying the Bush administration did well, or not. All I'm saying is that the big brother here refers to our government and not to a sibling, like a previous poster (on the thread with the wrong lyrics) said.
Plus, to keep with the Orwellian motif, there's the recurring "keep/be happy," the occasional "don't question authority," and the never-ending "pushing." Face down still!

ALSO. I first heard this song on Lost Dogs; that was, of course, the instrumental version. I just heard this song on the radio, with lyrics, and a different arrangement. And it made an already bad ass tune 50 trillion times more bad ass.
SO excited that song has vocals/lyrics. And a different arrangement that makes the song ACTUALLY BETTER SOMEHOW.
