この現実の世界にもうビッグ・ブラザーの出る幕はないんだよ

David Bowie - Big Brother

Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal
He'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He'll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin, then we can really begin

Please savior, saviour, show us
Hear me, I'm graphically yours
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you Big Brother, Big Brother

I know you think you're awful square
But you made everyone and you've been every where
Lord, I'd take an overdose if you knew what's going down

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you

Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you Big Brother

ボウイは、巷で噂されるビッグ・ブラサーを神だと捉えていたのか。
それとも、ビッグ・ブラザーと称されるのは神だけだと言いたかったのか。。。どちらなんだろう？
後者の方だと思いたい。。。

if you knew what's going down

あの頃にはもう、崩壊が始まっていたんだ。
