Big Sister is another politically motivated track. It’s kind of a take-off of the “Big Brother” situation from Orwell’s 1984, but in this case I substituted the feminine attitude for government. But hey, if you change it and put politics inside of it, it’s the same thing.
-Ronnie James Dio
Who controls your mind?
There have been changes
No more giving it all for free
There will be changes
Now woman is all you'll need
Here is a number
You've been given another name
We will be watching
One might fall but you'll all be blamed
Shame, shame
Here's big sister
We're big sister
Hear, big sister
There's big sister
Dancing on your grave
Who controls your mind?
Who's in charge of hearts?
Who controls your time?
We're in charge of you
There have been changes
Even mother's a soldier now
There have been changes
You can't touch cause
You don't know how, no
Here's big sister
We're big sister
Hear, big sister
There's big sister
Dancing on your grave
Pretty faces, young and clean
Watching you from magazines
All they want is something more
Kill the king and then we'll crown the whore
Here's big sister
We're big sister
Hear, big sister
There's big sister
Who controls your mind?
In charge of hearts
Controls your time
In charge of you
Here's big sister
We're big sister, control
