Little Man Lyrics

He was born in that small town

Where nothing good ever went down

There was no work there to be found

Though he'd never really looked around

He tapped everyone that he knew, for what he could

He spent his time just getting drunk

Couldn't see just how low he'd sunk

He was never one to buy his round

Pissing life away in that small town

Everybody knew his name, and what he owed them

Little man in a small town

Little man with a big mouth

Things got tough in that small town

Debt collectors they were coming around

In dead of night he slipped away

And he kept on moving 'til the break of day

And then he got to another town, where no one knew him

He settled down and he got a job

Started acting like he was some big knob

Bought himself a brand-new beamer

It would compensate for his tiny little wiener,

Though he was still the same, without a name now

Little man in a big town

Little man with a big mouth

Little man he was a big man now (Little man)

Little man he didn't care no more

With cash for booze and his cheap little whores

The high life it didn't last too long

He told his boss he was always fucking wrong

Tried to punch right out his lights

Though he couldn't handle himself in a fight

He was pushed right to the ground, and kicked him out now

Things got tough in that big town

Debt collectors were coming 'round

They would want to break some bones

And then they'd get back their loans

Now things changed in that town, now everyone knew him

Small fry in a big town

Little man had a big mouth

Small fry in the big town

Little man in a big town

Pretty soon he'd be getting out of town again
