The Big Man
Blake Weems

The Big Man he say
Money, help, they're comin soon
In the meantime me and all of America are prayin for you
Well I say thank you very much
But all your prayers and such
Ain't helpin anybody, and that's quite clear
Unless you talk to Jesus, ask him to walk across the water and get those poor black people outta there

The Big Man he say
Everything is gonna be fine
Yeah it's years gone, thousands dead, and victory's in sight
But my friend the PFC
He writes and he tells me
He says things out there, they ain't quite a hit
Well it's lucky for him, he won't be there long, Big Daddy's got a plan, here's 38 pages to prove it

The Big Man he say
This Health-Care thing's done gone too far
He's got a plan that's to me a lot like a Mason jar
You see you put back a little bit
On the weeks that you ain't sick
And the weeks the times ain't hard
And that's the beauty, the choice is yours America, you can bury it in your front, your back, or your side yard

The Big Man he say
Most of us got nothin to hide
But if some goddamned terrorist is callin, ijust gotta know why
These people just don't understand
I'm a helluva decisive man
And I gotta act quick, to keep this country safe
And I'll be damned if a few laws or the lack of a warrant is gonna get in my way


Well I guess I'll quit my bitchin now, this song could have a hundred verses
And it ain't about the real big man, or any of the media versions
I ain't some kind of poet, I ain't tryin to start no revolution
And this ain't some kind of protest song with idealistic solutions
Cause they say that things are different now than the way they used to be
They say there ain't no good and bad, just alot of in between
And it's true that sometimes everything looks like a shade of grey
But brothers and sisters... Somebody's gotta take a stand on somethin someday
