How Great

Lyrics

How Great Big man floating in the ocean Big mans lost out at sea Little boat swaying with the motion And nobody cares be he And for the first time in his life He is his only company No-one there to shout how great he is Nobody He's looking for his little people To get him out of this Who's fresh ambitious faces Should be staring back at his And in between the platitudes His ass they'd gladly kiss But they're not around to shout how great he is How great he is In the board room with the leather chairs And marble on the walls Someone's appointed as the one who cares And it's move on up, for one and all Little man's out there fishing He does it every day He doesn't know big man's missing And he wouldn't care anyway But he rescues him from certain death And goes along his way No-one there to say how great he is Until today
