Where would I be if I sold all my dreams? (All my dreams),
Sometimes my conscience forgets me (Forgets me),
You're selling salvation but it's not clean (It's not clean),
I hope that you learn I'm not that mean (Not that mean),
You're a big fish,
Telling all the other little fish to go and follow you,
And they're hoping it's true you can help us,
It isn't what you struggle for or what you earn it's just you,
And the people you screw,
Well I've heard enough of "no can do" (No can do),
Son you're out of time at twenty-two (Twenty-two)
Your Mum and your Dad won't look at you (Look at you)
You're out of your mind there's nothing to lose (To lose)
You're a big fish,
Telling all the other little fish to go and follow you,
And they're hoping it's true you can help us,
It isn't what you struggle for or what you earn it's just you,
And the people you screw,
And the big fish well I'll teach you to stop,
I know enough now,
I'm learning just how,
You're a big fish,
Telling all the other little fish to go and follow you,
And they're hoping it's true you can help us,
It isn't what you struggle for or what you earn it's just you,
And the people you screw
