Big Brother Big Sister by Steve Pichan

The title of this song, "Big Brother Big Sister" is a reference to heavy handed state governors in New York, Michigan, California and other states that have exerted heavy pressures and restrictions on their constituents during the Covid 19 pandemic. Mom and pop businesses, churches, schools, sports and entertainment have all suffered from coercive edicts that are inconsiderate of economic and personal destruction. They, the big brothers and sisters, are the essence of big government headed toward tyranny.

LYRICS
Big Brother, Big Sister

Big Brother, Big Sister
Did you happen to see
The folks who closed the doors for good?
I watched it on tv
I’m sure I saw some desperation
Coming from their eyes
Big Brother, Big Sister
Did it give you cause to cry?

So hard it is to lock the door
And throw away the key
Where every wall and every face
It’s been a part of them
And maybe you don’t know the pain
Or feel it equally
But big brother, big sister
Let the citizen go free

So Big Brother, Big Sister
We need a better plan
To this lockdown on society
I just don’t understand
You bet I’ve got a heart for those
Who now are left to grieve
But Big brother, big sister
It’s time to give relief

‘missing Sunday at the church
It’s on lockdown too
That’s where to find some consolation
And a word of truth
But now it seems that Brother, Sister
It’s under your control
‘never thought we’d see the day
There’s no place for the soul

They say a good man will provide
For what the family needs
Gives him pride, gives him worth
That’s his reality
So would you sister speak some hope?
Shed some future light
For the ones with heavy hearts
And end their sleepless nights

So Big Brother, Big Sister
We need a better plan
To this lockdown on society
Oh we just don’t understand
You bet I’ve got a heart for those
Who now are left to grieve
But Big brother, big sister
It’s time to let us breathe
