Antibalas - Big Man lyrics

Cla**! We are here to teach you a lesson on the dance floor But this song is not a dance I will tell you a story Brothers and sisters This story is about a big big man And a small small man that made him Small man says, "Oh big man, in all your greatness What can I do for you? I beg o, give me job now Let me work eighty hours a week to make money So I can give the same money back to you, big man When I buy your beautiful products" This is the system Small man! How to make big man big How to make small man small Make themselves small man helpless Too weak to carry power Making your big man better Making your big man smarter Making your big man deserve Small man go clean yansh for am Big man! Making him be politician Big man he be business business Control the bank plenty money Him offer you credits and credit Him offer you mortgage payment Or make you indentured servant Deserve to pay back my money And deserve more than you Small man! Big big man in corporation Big big man in corporation You scattered by corporation Go ask am for unemployment Go now to politician Go for help for your family You fight for that social service His son is business president This is the system But still the small man believes in the system So him say to the big man: What can I sing for you? What can I buy from you? Who can I fight for you? What can I carry for you, big man? Nothing is too heavy! I'll carry your gun I'll carry your gold chain I'll carry your wine I'll carry your flag, oh I'll carry your gun I'll carry your gold chain I'll carry your wine I'll carry your flag, oh Nothing is too heavy, yeah Big man The small man is so happy to work for the big man That all he can say is "thank you" For all that you do for me For all that you do for me For all that you do for me Thank you, thank you Thank you! For truth and justice freedom You just serve the alliances For liberating Iraq I beg you give me the bill A million dollar missing When my child is hungry, oh I make us safer safer Safe from democracy For your deregulation Deregulate yourself For all your plastic bottles You bake me plastic food Replace my gut with science I throw my thoughts and dreams I build am big man buildings So you can do big man things For all that you do for me For all that you do for me For all that you do for me Thank you, thank you Big man! Thank you, thank you! Oga patapata eh-eh Who can I k** for you? What can I carry for you? What else can I do for you? How can I slave for you? Who can I k** for you? What can I carry for you?
