You listen to the wealth and the misery
You're a big shot, you want the whole lot
Yes, you're fat and can afford to be tasteless
He'll tell you when to beg and when to sit, sit
You're a big shot who wants a whole lot
Or a high ranking military officer
You listen to the power of money
You tell me what to think and what to be
I tell you what to think and what to do
I don't think you care
I watch you struggle and it gets me red hot
I wander 'round in my empty office block
And if you like it or not, I still control you
And if I like it or not, you still control me
I like the best in the freezing winter fog
For a big shot who wants a whole lot
You look like a government minister
You listen to the guys in the factories
You tell me what to think and what to be
So you listen to smoking industry
You're just a big shot, yeah
Yes, I've seen you go to work in your big car
Big shot, I want the whole lot
I like to sneer as I sail past your bus stop
And if I like it or not, you still control me
And if you like it or not, he'll probably get it
