Lyrics

Big

[Verse 1]

In this ocean, I'm a bag of tea

I make some clouds but they're minor league

Hack at the base of the largest tree

Only to find that it doesn't bleed

[Pre-Chorus]

This is big, this is...

This is, this is

[Chorus]

The laughing right stands before me naked, unashamed

It's for your own good

It's going to hurt us more than it hurts you

It hurts you

[Post-Chorus]

Don't it make you

Don't it make you feel small?

Don't it make you

Don't it make you feel small?

[Verse 2]

You and yours on us and ours

You've got the guns and we've got the scars

Turn the gun back on yourself

I love it when you think big

[Pre-Chorus]

This is big, this is...

This is, this is

[Chorus]

The laughing right stands before me naked, unashamed

It's for your own good

It's going to hurt us more than it hurts you

It hurts you

[Post-Chorus]

Don't it make you

Don't it make you feel small?

Don't it make you

Don't it make you feel small?
