Lyric discussion by Motown1 

Cover art for Big Brother lyrics by David Bowie

The chorus says it all: Someone to claim us, someone to follow/ Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo/ Someone to fool us, someone like you---what great lines for anyone that has bought into the political figures in the world. Bowie (within the 1984 theme) warns us not to trust leaders. Sound advice and what a great song. Love the distortion and the filtered vocals....

@Motown1 I really like the David Live version he changes the lyrics a little: Someone to LEAD us, someone to follow/ Someone to fool us, some brave Apollo/ Someone to shame us, someone like you.

Listening to a song like this it absolutely blows my mind how genius he was.
