Below are lyrics from the song modified by me and some of my
friends, complete with extra chorus lines just for fun. You
might like it better this way. I call the revision:
Fifty Ways to Leave Big Brother
"The problem is all inside your head", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave big brother.
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself, at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave the state
Fifty ways to leave the state.
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just set yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the shackles, Lee
And get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light.
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave Big Brother.
Fifty ways to leave Big Brother.
Free your mind. Free yourself.
Mess with the camera, Sarah.
Unlock a few gates, mate.
Hacksaw off the chain, Cain.
Flip 'em the bird, Kurt,
And get yerself FREE.
Knock off a pig, Sig.
Make a jail break, Jake.
Hide a pot farm, Sharm.
Spray paint the A, Ray,
And make yourself free!
Mutual aid doc, Spock,
Black market code, Node;
Privacy net, Jet;
Crypto e-mail, Gale—
Govern yourself free.
Don't pay a tax, Max
Smoke up your plant, Grant
Don't sell them your soul, Cole
Get off the grid, Sid
And let yourself be free.
I'm writing this down, Brown
Copy and paste, Baste
Rip it to bitTorrent, Florence
Just do your own rhyme, Sime.
And set yourself free!

For an encore presentation, "It ain't me pig." From the song "It
ain't me babe." Inspired by the film "Walk the Line."
Original lyrics for "It ain't me babe" by Bob Dylan, presumably
copyright and otherwise encumbered by the state on behalf of the
artist, the recording studio, etc.
It Ain't Me, Pig
Go away from my window
Leave at your own chosen speed
I'm not the one you want, pig
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who's done something very wrong
To harm the state and "people"
Whether you are right or wrong
Someone to hide behind each and every door
[CHORUS:]
But it ain't me pig
No, no, no, it ain't me pig
It ain't me you're lookin' for, pig.
Go lightly from the ledge, pig
Fall quickly to the ground
I'm not the one you want, pig
I'll only let you down
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who'll promise to go quietly
Someone to close his eyes to you
Someone to stop his heart
Someone to die for you and more
[REPEAT CHORUS]
But it ain't me pig
No, no, no, it ain't me pig
It ain't me you're lookin' for, pig.
You say you're lookin' for someone
To take the blame and take the fall
To gather bruises constantly
And to come each time you call
And will love you for your job
And nothin' more
[REPEAT CHORUS]
But it ain't me pig
No, no, no, it ain't me pig
It ain't me you're lookin' for, pig.
