Big Shot (2012 Remaster)

Yes, I've seen you go to work in your big car

Yes, you're fat and can afford to be tasteless

You're a big shot

You want the whole lot

And if I like it or not

You still control me

You tell me what to think and what to be

I like it best in the freezing winter, boy

I like to sneer as I sail past your bus stop

I watch you struggle, and it gets me red hot

I wander 'round in my empty office block

Big shot

I want the whole lot

And if you like it or not

I still control you

I tell you what to think and what to do

So you listen to the smoking industry

You listen to the guys in the factories

You listen to the wealth and the misery

You listen to the power of money

For a big shot

Who wants a whole lot

And if you like it or not

He'll probably get it

He'll tell you when to beg and when to sit

You look like a government minister

Or a higher ranking military officer

I don't think you care

You're just a big shot, yeah

Yes, I've seen you go to work in your big car

Yes, you're fat and can afford to be tasteless

You're a big shot

Who wants a whole lot

And if I like it or not

You still control me

You tell me what to think and what to be
