The Switch

Big brother stands still watching
His monitors, from on high
Evil always gets the switch
The switch that says goodbye

One day, he sees a lovely lass
He wants her, but there's a glitch
She loves the one that loves her
He stares at the goodbye switch

He knows, what he has to have
He gives the switch a shove
But big brothers, big brother
Stands watching from above

This is a mysterious one Pat; I'm guessing the big brother watching is God? (Or someone watching from a drone?)~Che :)
