Lyrics

I remember when you started out
You were the best friend I ever knew
I tried to meet you when you had your success
But you had better things to do
Now I bet that you're losin' count
Of the people that you used
But now we're gonna see the vicious side of you

Mister big
You've got the say and the power
Your minions grovel and cower
But I see you, and I see me
But you're the big man now
You got it, mister big
Your followers kiss your hand
And your slaves all at your feet
Your minions serve your beck and call
But they don't compensate at all
'Cause inside, mister big's very small

When you were poor and knockin' at the door
You were really lots of fun
But now you're hot and you're sittin' on the top;
You've got no time for anyone
You schemed and connived
You pushed and you lied
Till you at last became a star
But now we're gonna see the way you really are

Mister big
Now your vict'ry is complete
And your battles are all won
Your enemies and foes are all stacked up in rows
Eliminated one by one
You got it, mister big
