Mr. Big Man

Hey Mr. Big Man, yes sir

You're killing me, yes you are, yeah

Every time I try to show it

You refuse to see, yes sir

If I cry injustice (cry injustice)

You say I'm wrong (you say that I'm wrong)

You say you're open for change and you will

But you're never at home, no

You know I've just got to say

What's in my heart today

'Cause I've been keeping this silence too long

And this pain won't go away

Big Man, Big Man

You say that I'm free, oh yes you do

But whenever I protest down here below

You crucify me, yes you do

Then you place all your values (place all your values)

On your buildings of stone, yes you do (building of stones)

You rejoice in the passing people, oh yeah

That your money owns, oh na na na na na na na

I've just got to say

What's in my heart today

I've been keeping this silence too long

And this pain won't go away

Big Man, oh yeah

As long as you lie

I've just got to continue to bug you

And expose all your lies, oh yes I have

I see a new day coming, oh Lord

In the minds of the young folks today (children ride on)

And they're wanting to end confusion and disillusion of love

They want to live in truth, yeah

I got to stand today, yeah

I'm gonna rap on and tell it like it is

Wait a minute, everybody listen here

See there's not enough big men today, no

That want to do their share

And that's why we got dirty water, hungry babies

And polluted air, yes we have

You see we've got to hold hands with one another, yeah
