Bigger Than You

I try to avoid political songs these days, but being forced to watch Fox News on my work breaks keeps it in my head. And this popped out. Music is done, and arrangement thought out so I may do a quick acoustic thing just to get it down so I can move on. So you may be able to have an accompanying song relatively soon.


Bigger Than You

Get on board and ride my train,
I don't care if you're insane
I just want to fill up this train...
Get on Board

Don't give a damn if I'm going your way,
Don't give a damn what I have to say
I just need you to ride my train,
get on board.

When my whistle blows through your town,
Don't think I'll slow down,
If you don't get out of my way,
your better learn how to pray.

At night when you lay awake,
and hope for a better day,
I'm going to take all I can from you,
you better learn how to beg.

My dreams are big, and yours are small.
I don't think they count at all,
I can put mine in the bank,
my dreams are big.

My dreams are big, much bigger than you.
I don't care what you say you can do,
if you don't make money like I do.
My dreams are big.

When your dollar is your power,
and you're working by the hour,
when no one speaks for you,
you better learn how to beg.

When all the votes are finally cast,
and your hopes come in last,
when no one speaks for you,
you better learn how to pray.

My love of money is bigger than you,
my love of power is bigger than you,
my dreams are bigger than you,
get on board.

My love of money is bigger than you,
my love of power is bigger than you,
my dreams are bigger than you,
get on board.

Hello teacher, hello mother, hello driver, miner, father,
hello police man, mechanic farmer, I'm bigger than you.

Hello plumber, hello postman, tradesman, nurse and hello fireman,
hello worker on overtime, I'm bigger than you.

Hello hungry little baby, and the preacher who tried to save me,
hello soldier who fights for me, I'm bigger than you.

Hello watchman, hello grandma, hello teller, and old yeller, hello grandpa, hello sister,
I'm bigger than you.

Hello coach, hello student, hello singer, writer, artist, hello future, hello tomorrow
I'm bigger than you.
