BIG SHOT
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All the things you said to me
The manifest and destiny
Well, all of this could go away right now
And everyone was in the band
And I was on another planet
And then you, were all alone
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You gotta have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
The chosen one you mother loved the most
After all
Early morning, still in bed
You hate yourself for what you said
But you could never admit you were wrong
And every song was out of key
And I was in the in-between
And then you, still all alone
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place the big bet
You better have a big hand
You wanna be the big shot
You wanna be the only son we love
After all
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You better have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot (the big shot)
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place a big bet
You better have a sick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
Big shot now
After all
