Just an old silly thingamajig. I had to try to translate my chicken scratch...but here it is... ******** Well you were worried about Big Brother Trying to control your every move. Not choosing one thing or another until Big Brother had approved. You were scared of Nineteen Eighty-four But dont cast your fears away Pull your shades and lock your door Big Daddys here today. Big Daddy is coming... Gonna take you by the hand... Because he knows that you're too slow to really understand. You're just a little baby. Can't make choices on your own. Can't tell right from wrong from maybe and can't be left alone. He knows you're not good with decisions You can't take care of yourself So Daddy always makes provisions that will benefit your health. Daddy knows that you're not able He knows you lack the power So he'll give you warning labels NO GYMNASTICS IN THE SHOWER He knows you're not a thinker He has to tell you what to eat Show you how to cook it How high to turn the heat. He wont let your clothes catch fire He wont let your babies choke He'll help direct all your desires Wont let bullies make you smoke. He'll tell you when your tags are old and what new toys to try. He'll rate all of your T.V. shows so you wont offend your eyes. Old enemies changed their faces and aren't so easily pushed around So free adults in private places are Big Daddy's battle ground. Baby is in the closet... Not brave enough to come out yet. Please come out and let me in So I can smoke a cigarette. It's just one of many vices that Big Daddy would protest The pack shows in my pocket like a scarlet letter on my chest. Baby has a new toy with air bags on each side and Big Daddy straps him in each time he takes a ride. Don't quote me no statistics I dont care what its about. If its broke dont try to fix it 'cuz I may want to jump out. He don't mind what you believe in but to let it show is detestable. Take the Christ right out of Christmas Lets have a Winter Festival ! If my crucifix offends you I'm so sorry I'm so glad Perhaps, a blindfold I can lend you For the things that make you mad. But if you whine and throw a tantrum Daddys sure to save the day. Just proudly sing the anthem and he wont let the children pray. I'm so sick of your complaining I'll just move into the woods When you're done with potty training He will spank your bottom good. |

I think....big daddy is surely nothing new...since the beginning of time, man has always had an obsession to control...be it the priests, be it a superior world order...what has always guided man to his decissions is money...as is power...the richest control...and that is my belief...I don't believe we've progressed but regressed, placing ourselves in our own little plastic bubbles away from the rest of the world, living in denial....we kid ourselves, thinking our chosen parties are loyal to us...they are not...they are in fact, only concerned with what turns their worlds in wealth...politicians are like lawyers... but thats just me...if we only knew what is really going on, huh? well done Uriah... |
