Tear it out of these open pages
Women and kids of all ages
Millions of men with blank faces
Italicized lies, headlines bold type
Living lives just like deer in headlights
Terrified, blind, and wait to die
I wonder when they'll come get me
We want you, have to, need you and
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
It never ends, never ends
We want you, have to, need you and
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
We'll tell you when they're hungry again
It never ends, never ends, never ends
Big shot screaming put your hands in the sky
He says "Give it up boy, give it up or you're gonna die
You'll get a bullet in the back of the neck
In the back of the neck
Right between the eyes
In Grab The Narcotics And Run's song Big Shot, the lyrics suggest the manipulation and control exerted by those in power over the masses. The first stanza talks about the media's influence over people, with italicized lies and bold headlines fueling fear that leaves people in a state of stagnation, waiting for their inevitable demise. The second stanza alludes to the government's manipulation tactics, with the repetition of "We want you, have to, need you," indicating the insatiable appetite for control and obedience.
The chorus brings in the imagery of a big shot screaming for people to put their hands up in the sky, threatening death with a bullet in the back of the neck or right between the eyes. This could represent the physical force and power that those in charge possess, and the fear that it strikes into the hearts of the masses.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the ways that those in power use fear, manipulation, and force to control others and maintain their status. It speaks to the powerlessness of those without power, and the constant cycle of control and captivity that continues to exist.

Seek the Lord while he is near. I was raised around drugs and blatant crime. I started doing meth, drinking, and pills at 14. I met my husband at 18, and around that time was when the drugs stopped working. We got our lives together at 20, so I wondered why my the hole that the drugs filled only got deeper and I got emptier. Not so self-destructive, but empty. Tired. Too tired to keep finding a new place to sleep, more drugs, rides, food, and hustling people I loved to get by.
The feeling these songs give me remind me of the utter loneliness I have always felt, which led me to want to stay drunk and high.
The first time I really felt seen was when I started seeking God, and felt like he could see right through me. I realized I was led by some really wicked ways in my own heart that wanted to take me down until I was used and abused enough to give up.
I realized that everyone, anyone can and will hurt me, leave me. The drugs will stop working, and the devil will always be rejoicing at the demise that I choose over God.
But not matter how deep into the pits of the hell of this life I got, He never stopped chasing me, until I could taste and see that he was good and that He will never leave me.
Genesis 50:20 They meant evil against me, but God meant it for Good.”
The drugs will stop working because they try and trick you into thinking you are filling the hole you are missing without the light of the Lord inside of you.
“Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.””
John 4:13-14 NKJV

The last time I heard this song I was in the car looking for some heroin and was sick as hell. I was 90 pounds and miserable. I wasn’t even getting high anymore, I was just doing a big enough shot to not be sick. One, because I was broke ; I would spend all of my money in one day getting high, and the whole week struggle to get enough to be “okay”, and two, because my tolerance had got so high, I had to do a shit ton to feel high. I wanted to die.
Now, I am 4 months sober and listening to this song... and I remember that feeling. I am so glad I quit. It was so HARD. And it will suck, but I am living breathing proof recovery IS possible. I am sharing this because maybe someone listening to this is having the same feeling.. and needs some hope, because I know I had none.
But I am happy now, I wake up ready for a new day, not wondering how I’m gonna get some money and clean needles.
I don’t want to die - and that is huge for me.
I don’t have to see the disgusted looks people gave me every-time when I went to the CVS pharmacy for rigs.
I don’t have to spend hours at a time in the car in a sketchy place waiting for the drug dealer.
I don’t have to throw away all my dreams and goals because I’m too sick to do anything, or nodding off.
I have my relationships back that I fucked up.
I have the friends back that I either distanced myself from, or that left because they couldn’t see me the way I was.
THERE IS HOPE! Message me if you need to talk, sharing my experience strength and hope keeps me clean. Love from SC ❤️
