The Big Eye
The big eye is watching
So do your best work
And when the whistle blows
Don’t take too long to smoke that cigarette
And save that sandwich for later
Get back to work and do the finest job
Or you won’t have any job left to do
The big eye never blinks
It always has that stare fixed on you
You can feel it between your shoulder blades
So stay busy or starve with the poor
And there just isn’t any way
For you to get away
From the glare of the eye keeping track
It tells the big brain what you’re doing
And it will make the decision
Get your pay every week
And hope there isn’t a pink
Cause the big eye is better
Than the big hunger
Get busy
So do your best work
And when the whistle blows
Don’t take too long to smoke that cigarette
And save that sandwich for later
Get back to work and do the finest job
Or you won’t have any job left to do
The big eye never blinks
It always has that stare fixed on you
You can feel it between your shoulder blades
So stay busy or starve with the poor
And there just isn’t any way
For you to get away
From the glare of the eye keeping track
It tells the big brain what you’re doing
And it will make the decision
Get your pay every week
And hope there isn’t a pink
Cause the big eye is better
Than the big hunger
Get busy
