"Great Big Man" lyrics - DON MCLEAN

Rust on your fingers, you got rubble at your feet
Keep the home fires burning, but look out for the heat
'Cause there's a man at the window who knows just what you think
And there's a water boy behind you who won't give you a drink

Well it's a hard, hard times, no easy road in sight
It takes a great big man to win a great big fight

When it comes to dying, no matter what you tell
They're gonna let you into heaven 'cause you lived your life in hell
Well they've got no way to reward you but to let those breezes blow
And you've got nothing left to do but to let your anger show

'Cause it's a hard, hard time, no easy road in sight
It takes a great big man to win a great big fight

Think about your baby, think about your wife
Just think about your banker who's trying to take your life
Think about this planet that's rolling through the night
Then tell me
Can you turn your back on such a great big fight?

You've got the muscle, big man, you got the power
But you're getting weaker with each passing hour
Just like a flame in the rain, like a light in the night
Well if it's you that must stay, well then it's you that must fight

'Cause it's a hard, hard time, your future's not bright
It takes a great big man to win a great big
Great big man to win a great big fight
