lyrics

Big men with little stories
Get big lines and folds,
The world don't have to know.
While the little men with big stories
Get no light at all.

If all you had had gone away,
Would you stay the same?
Fat old cats that go astray,
Do they stay the same?
Fat cats in black hats.

They wear black ties so tight that they talk,
But nothing real can make it out.
Pretend it all you want.
And those white lies so bright they can't see,
All the things that we could be if we tried.

If all you had had gone away,
Would you stay the same?
Fat old cats that go astray,
Do they stay the same?
Fat cats in black hats.

If all you had had gone away,
Would you stay the same?
Fat old cats that go astray,
Do they stay the same?
Fat cats in black hats.
