Great Big Man Lyrics

Don McLean

Translate to

Rust on your fingers you′ve got
Rubble at your feet
Keep the homefires burning
But look out for the heat
'Cause there′s a man at the window
Who knows just what you think
And there's a waterboy behind you
Who won't give you a drink
Well it′s a hard, hard times
No easy road in sight
It takes a great big man to win a great big fight
And when it comes to dying
No matter what you tell
They′re gonna let you into heaven
'Cause you lived your life in hell
Well they′ve got no way to reward you
But to let those breezes blow
And you've got nothing left to do
But to let your anger show
′Cause it's a hard, hard times
No easy road in sight
It takes a great big man to win a great big fight
Think about your baby
Think about your wife
Just think about your banker
Who′s trying to take your life
Think about this planet
That's rolling through the night
Then tell me, can you turn your back on such a great big fight?
You've got the muscle, big man
You′ve got the power
But you′re getting weaker
With each passing hour
Just like a flame in the rain
Like a light in the night
Well if it's you that must stay
Well then it′s you that must fight
'Cause it′s a hard, hard times
Your future's not bright
It takes a great big man to win a great big
Great big man to win a great big fight
