What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy

Standing on the rooftop, just out of earshot,
Looking at this gansgter guy,
Thinking he's a hot shot, pouring me a big shot,
Trying to get me drunk and high.

Suddenly the stepfather of Kenneth appears
Playing a big shot manager
Opening a GmbH* behind my back

They look for a helping hand
Burn the big shot's money
and go knock that fucking ego out

Will become a long line of wealth and pleasure
I hope the big-shot who now maintains you
