Big Shot
Zebrahead
LH cause 714 is the area
Everybody grab a friend and jump on in
Get a new view and a message to send
Look for the truth and a hand you can lend
But you
Got something to prove
A turn of your back and youre on the move
And me
I get to see
All of the things that you had and all you could be
When the world is all about you
Can't you make your way through
And all I can do is say
Hey man, where ya going
Going real far and I won't stop for nothing
Hey man, what ya thinking
What I see is me, don't you see me shining
Why do you think you can make the world yours
No way today
So your a big shot now, still don't know who you are and
Everything you want and need is at your feet, so what
Good times
Drink your red wine
Try not to think of things left behind
Youre a star
And you've made it this far
Strange how you really don't know who you are
Divide
All your time and your pride
Take all the names that you've learned in stride
When the world is all about you
Can't you make your way through
And all I can do is say
Hey man, where ya going
Going real far and I won't stop for nothing
Hey man, what ya thinking
What I see is me, don't you see me shining
Why do you think you can make the world yours
No way today
God damn! Here it comes again
My friend
I'll stay to the end
But I need some room so that I can get in
This place
Its all a waste
Your energy spent on just getting a taste
And me
I get to see
All the things that you had and all you could be
When the world is all about you
Can't you make your way through
And all I can do is say
Hey man where ya going
Going real far and I won't stop for nothing
Hey man, what ya thinking
What I see is me, don't you see me shining
Why do you want to make the world yours
No way today
So ideal
Your time is running but you don't know why
And nothing comes for free when you don't want to try
So unreal
Your time is running and I see it
All of your life, did you really want to be it
Your time is running out
