Rare Earth - Hey Big Brother Lyrics
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Walk on now and don't be shy
Take a closer look at the people you meet
And notice the fear in their eyes
Watching the time passing by...
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
Better keep them on your side, big brother
Keep them satisfied
Just as far as you can see
Everybody's getting kinda tired of waiting
Cause nobody wants to cry
And nobody wants to die...
Hey big brother, as soon as you arrive
You better, get in touch with the people, big brother
And get them on your side, big brother
And keep them satisfied
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Now that you've got the picture
What you going to do?
Hey big brother, I know you're out there somewhere
If we don't get our thing together, big brother will be watching us
He ain't gonna get me, are you gonna let him get you?
He'll never get me, he'll never get me, no
Big brother's coming
No he'll never get me, no no no no...
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
Hey big brother
...

You know that Im out here? This is true, the thing you should get together is Horus is available, the adverse big brother survelliance..has attempted to divert you from your due, Horus, calling his mother a terrorist-this is accurate report. America Osiris, Brazil Nepthy, Parias Aten of Osiris, Califa Aset Mother of Horus, Horus with Sun Disk battles Set in the Underworld. This from Babi near Osiris, of The Hall of Two Truths, Babi conversly Set. King U overrides youtube containment. At least someone knew I was here...Make effort and I will help you...
Heavy metal with saxaphone!!!
Powerful voice!
I saw them at the Atlanta International Pop Fesitval, July 3-5, of 1970.
the genius on the lead guitar is the great RAY MONETTE,the genius on the mic is PETE RIVERA,the drummer who stands in no ones shadow,he is brilliant the rest of the band is off the chain good too,unreal music and unreal times
50 thumbs down?=50 deaf morons
Loved this Group....this song came out when I lived in San Francisco, on Treasure Island. My father had just shipped out to Vietnam. Crazy times.
Can see where nazereth got the riff for hair of the dog from both being great songs
The song UK sang to USA to join them in ww2😂
Relevant in its time.
Detroit Finest! From Blewfoot....
Speaking truth to The Man.
Underrated
Love this band always, never got to see them live. All their music just rocks, viva the rare earth
Music I grew up with! I'll always love it!
American 70s RNR
Originally publishes
Great intro.
music that increases your skin of pleasure ... oh God where are the '60s and' 70s and what miserable noises "are singing" (and listening sadly) today .....
Got that shit right!!
Seen them in the early eighties when I was living in Casper Wyoming at the world famous Wonder bar
This is true music, not the musical "garbage" of today .... I am from an ex-communist country where Western music was forbidden .... but we buy music on the "black market" with great material sacrifices, going every month in the capital of the country where I had the music source (black) to listen to this music, not to listen to the communist music ...
Fuck yeah I was 9 when nis 45 dropped....back when most uh u bastards was still swimmen around in yuh ole man's bag lol
Go Pete Go!!!Lots of RAW Talent Here!!!
This song IS more relevant today than ever. A true look into the future, if you catch my drift!!
Hey hermano mayor,
tan pronto como llegue
Es mejor, ponerse en contacto con la gente,
el hermano mayor
Mejor mantenerlos de su lado,
el hermano mayor
Y mantenerlos satisfechos.
Bienvenido al ritmo de la calle de la ciudad
Caminar sobre el ahora y no seas tímido
Eche un vistazo más de cerca a la gente que conoces
Y note el miedo en sus ojos
Viendo el tiempo que pasa por ...
Hey hermano mayor,
tan pronto como llegue
Es mejor, ponerse en contacto con la gente,
el hermano mayor
Mejor mantenerlos de su lado,
el hermano mayor
Mantenerlos satisfechos.
Enfoque sus ojos en el cielo sucio
Tan lejos como se puede ver
Todo el mundo está un poco cansado de esperar
Porque nadie quiere llorar
Y nadie quiere morir ...
Hey hermano mayor,
tan pronto como llegue
Es mejor, ponerse en contacto con la gente,
el hermano mayor
Y conseguirlos a su lado,
el hermano mayor
Y mantenerlos satisfechos.
Ahora que tienes la imagen
¿Qué vas a hacer?
Ahora que tienes la imagen
¿Qué vas a hacer?
(Solos instrumentales)
(Hablando).
Hey hermano mayor,
sé que estás ahí fuera en alguna parte
Si no conseguimos lo nuestro juntos,
el hermano mayor nos está mirando
Él no me va a llegar, vas a dejar que se obtiene?.
Él nunca me va a llegar, nunca me va a llegar, no
Hermano mayor que viene
No, nunca me va a llegar, no no no no ...
Hey hermano mayor
Hey hermano mayor
Hey hermano mayor ...
(Repetir hasta el final)
Que buena onda traducir esta cancion, gracias Gran Hermsno
Amazing song... Just stuck around it... More ironic than Iron man!
"Now that you've got the picture, what you gonna do?" classic line
prog rock band on motown about as unblack as you can get.
Not true, blacks loved re
40년 전부터 좋아햇는데 지금도 들어요
My first. Orange sunshine trip. Florida 73
I'd give more than just my right arm for sone of that! Who knew the maker was here in Canada for 10+, maybe even 20 years! But I guess we were nowhere near that pipeline. Too too bad!
Still rocks!!!
Great deep cut from the best decade of rock music..
Pressing social commentary.
So much Rock music was! Not Pop though, awful shit!
If there was a band that I missed seeing in my past, and I could go back in time, Rare Earth would be way up there on the list.
Now that's tragic
@Rich Bumdrop I got to see them once in Richmond Va. One of the best concerts I've every been to. They rocked the Colosseum. And if you never got to see them in person you really missed a total experience.
@Philip Freeman kidding saw them at their bestEven w/o rivera.they hit it.
@Rich Bumdrop Didn't know that they were still performing. If I get a chance I'll check them out. If they are half as good as the original group I would be happy. The show that I saw was was a memorable and one of the best I've ever attended. They had the Richmond Coliseum rocking that night. As a matter of fact. They had to cut the sound system off to get them off the stage that night.
Met dr John once.He even said...rare earth?Better live than on record.
Rare Earth is some Awesome Rare music! Nothing compares to this era music. Nothing.
Man has music changed % some modern ok but how you they compare with the feeling you get when you listen to this era \ it touches inside
Nothing compares to you beautiful! I agree, great classic from a great decade!✌👍
I had the privilege to see them at the Richmond colosseum. And they rocked the place. For at least two hours they tore it up. They had to cut the power to get them to stop. They rocked the place. One of the greatest concerts I've every attended. About the only grouo to top them was the Funkadelics. And that's saying a lot. I feel sorry for todays generation. They will never know the fun and how to have fun without the dangers of today.
@Philip Freeman rare earth, sly & the family stone 1974. & the Parliament/Funkadelics opened. Great show!!!
No doubt, the power and the words. Powerful voice!
Wow this takes Me back to My youth I was 11 and Vietnam was going on ,I was in 6th grade and just started to get in to the rock seen I had a Big Brother He went to Nam , He's 62 now and got Agent Orange Just a little History But it was like Yesterday .
Para mi Sobrino Daniel Antivilo Acuña...Hey Gran Hermano..! (negro Actor y Malo ) JAJAJAJ.!
here now ain't he
What a fantastic song with a huge message here as well! Man I sure miss the early 1970's!!!
One of the best times in rock music!
Hell yeah big brother!👍✌
Same shit different year!
Hey Alex, thanks for posting this one. Brings back some great memories.
This is the real sheet if you don't feel this you just need to sit down....
Los escuche hace 45 años y sigo escuchandolos
Reminds me of early Doobie Bros
Berry Gordy of Motown fame signed these guys in an effort to expand his business into rock music. They did great covers of those Motown bands.
protect little brother, how bout day?
i have arrived in from the storm
I could listen to that intro all day.
RAY MONETTE IS A GENIUS GUITARIST
strattuner I know, I'm friends with his daughter-in-law
I asked him for his pick,when he and EARTH played 1 block west,stuck that terrific band in a small bar,he gave me the pick tell him I still have it,to remind me to practice,he is one helluva guitarist,but he knows this,i told him,he was a genius he just laughed,i was serious
strattuner
Underrated
BIG BROTHER IS A PUNK
Ever try messing with him?
WHIPPED MANY OF THEM,they're punks
Classic rock gold!
Another classic jem, powerful tune, great band, gotta feal it. Love this.
Those keyboards RULED!!
The Jingo Kid was here. ..
Saw them in '84 at a Lansing, Michigan area show bar for $5. Money well spent. Great hits we were certainly exposed to through the 70s, thanks to Motown/Rare Earth Records.
Glad you did, Listening to these old tracks is so fun
Hah, I wish I could have heard Big Brother in 1984 man!
It was a well-spent fin at the Silver Dollar!
such great songs. I am glad I lived through these periods
From what I see, the people are a victim of Edward Bernays mind control, orchestrated by the NWO deep state. DEATH TO TYRANTS!
amen lol
THE BEST OF ROCK!
Shit I gotta move.....save the world !
Killer song!!!!! I've always loved this one!
Michelle Colligan Hell yes, gotta love it!
trump make us great again
Rare Earth would be against every thing that traitor stands for!
This takes me right back to my college days!
I really like this song from the Rare Earth!!!
Jeannie Costello Good taste in music, powerful tune, i love it.
Just got back to the World via the Nam when I first heard this tune.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice.From a sister of a Combat Vietnam Veteran who is gone but not forgotten.
Welcome home man.
Welcome home... USAF
Brother, respect.
Bad Ass Bay Area Band

@Andrew Cline Probably trump supporters. They hate everyone and everything.
Especially freedom.
@Philip Freeman Especially Freedom

there last big hit, totally self destructed afterwards, shame
search out fuller versions of this song. They had some words to say.
Hey big nigga
+Execdx S sad racist
Grow up, or at least don't show your stupidity by posting it.
I wish this somehow could have made the Ecology album but i guess this song was done sometime in following year after Ecology was released. Does anyone hear a little Don Brewer of Grand Funk in Peter Rivera's voice????
@Rocky B "Does anyone hear a little Don Brewer of Grand Funk in Peter Rivera's voice????"
Oh...HELL yeah!
@Matthew Bradley Thank You i knew someone out there would hear it. Also they are both from Detroit
This song is not in Ecology neither in the following 71 studio "One World". But they performed Big Brother in 71 concerts (live "In concert"). It seems studio track was a 45 SP featuring stereo A and mono B.
Sometimes I hear sounds of Bob Seger pre-Silver Bullet...
DeWitt!
CLASSIC MISSION IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
THE PEGASUS
MISSION PRIDE
BIG BROTHER IS HERE, PEOPLE WAKE THE HELL UP!!
It's relevant even more so today
we didnt get our things together and now big brother is watching us
Now you have an idea of how long government has been watching.
This was a song I listened to with my big brother Jim when he would give me rides home from school. He was 10 years older than I, may he RIP. I miss him every day.
+June Jones.. I and my brother John as well..7 years older.. May they be blessed and us as well .
Hold those great memories tighter than gold, because those memories ARE gold !!
Lovin this, take you back 40 years instantly
I know, isn't it awesome? Girlfriend & me still dance to it and we're 60.
+ 7 I was 17
Is that Dime-Bag Dan from south Minneapolis, class of 75?
That's for sure.
Has it been that long ago, man, seems like yesterday.
Always dig a screamin' Hammond B3!
