"Big Shot" lyrics - THE LUMINEERS

[Verse 1: Wesley Schultz]
All the things you said to me
The manifest and destiny
Well, all of this could go away right now

[Pre-Chorus: Wesley Schultz]
And everyone was in the band
And I was on another planet
And then you, were all alone

[Chorus: Wesley Schultz with James Felice & Simone Felice]
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You gotta have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
The chosen one your mother loved the most
After all

[Verse 2: Wesley Schultz]
Early morning, still in bed
You hate yourself for what you said
But you could never admit you were wrong

[Pre-Chorus: Wesley Schultz]
And every song was out of key
And I was in the in-between
And then you, still all alone

[Chorus: Wesley Schultz with James & Simone]
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place a big bet
You better have a big hand
You wanna be the big shot
You wanna be the only son we love
After all

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus: Wesley Schultz with James & Simone]
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun (Big gun)
You better have a quick hand (Quick hand)
You wanna be the big shot (The big shot)
You wanna be the big man (Big man)
You wanna place a big bet (Big bet)
You better have a sick hand (Sick hand)

[Outro: Wesley Schultz with James & Simone]
You wanna be the big shot now
Big shot now
After all
