A G don~t live for last year~s capers D E give me steel, give me steel, give me pulses unreal Bm A we~ll build a glass asylum Bm A with just a hint of mayhem A G you~ll build a better whirlpool D E we~ll be living from sin, then we can really begin D G D G please savior, save your shores D G Gb A help me, i~m graphically yours Bm G A some one to claim us, some one to follow Bm G A some one to shame us, some brave apollo Bm G A some one to fool us, some one like you E D-B5-A we want you big brother, big brother break: Bm A G Bm A G Bm A G E G E G G Em i know you think you~re awful square C G that you~ve made every one and you~ve been everywhere C G D A lord, i~d take an overdose if you knew what~s going down Bm G A some one to claim us, some one to follow Bm G A some one to shame us, some brave apollo Bm G A some one to fool us, some one like you Bm G A some one to claim us, some one to follow Bm G A some one to shame us, some brave apollo Bm G A some one to fool us, some one like you Bm G A some one to claim us, some one to follow Bm G A some one to shame us, some brave apollo Bm G A some one to fool us, some one like you E we want you big brother (this song submerges into the chant to big brother, which i will not transcribe. comment, questions, answers, direct your attention to jieuryli@eden.rutgers.edu) bye-bye
