Big Man on Paper
GP & The Episodes Lyrics

I look at a news cast being broadcast and
I observe a news program being presented before me, and

Try to connect with the events in front of my eyes
I attempt to establish a connection with the incidents being shown in front of me

But I can't see any further than the bills on the table
However, I am unable to perceive beyond the pile of pending bills on the table

Or my kids first halloween disguise ooooh
Or even reminisce about my child's first Halloween costume

Then I drive into town and go to the hudson valley mall
Subsequently, I travel to the town and stroll into the Hudson Valley Mall

And look at the youth in their white snake t shirts
I glance at the young generation wearing white t-shirts with the band name 'White Snake' imprinted on them

They're wearing a poor man's version of the haircut
They sport a cheaper version of the current fad haircut

Man they might as well be from another universe
It appears as if they belong to a completely different world

I'd like to live in one world or another
I would prefer to exist in either of two worlds

Baby one world or another would almost seem right
Either of the two worlds will be appropriate, almost perfect

I'd like to see peace on earth for my brother but I'm just a
I desire worldwide harmony for everyone, including my fellow beings, but I am merely a

Ooooooh big man on paper ooooh big man on paper
Oh, a big guy on paper, a big guy on paper

I look at a magazine designed for the successful woman
I scrutinize a periodical intended for the triumphant female demographic

And look for one designed for the unsuccessful man
And search for a similar one targeting the unaccomplished male audience

But I can't see it anywhere on the newsstands
However, I am unable to locate it anywhere on the newsstands

Maybe next week maybe next week
Perhaps next week, maybe next week

So I hit the arcade and then get back in the car
As a consequence, I visit an arcade and then return to my vehicle

And drive drive drive down that empty highway again
And drive, continue to drive, down the vacant highway again

Surrounded by food you don't worry about starvation
Even though there is an abundance of food surrounding me, the fear of starvation doesn't disappear

Only temptation and keeping sane
All that prevails amidst this scenario is temptation and keeping oneself sane
