Big Boys

From the Lifesmith Group album, "Pablum."

I gotta play with the big boys, the little ones can be weird
A calico in the ocean than a shark in a pond and be feared
To measure my efforts against the best is what makes me feel real
Not dominate some one horse town, an insecure ego’s appeal.

I’m not into control as I trust my compadres as they can rely on me
No need to force agendas on someone, big boys have eyes which can see.
Don’t have to tell you how smart I am and don’t need to beat my chest
Little ones are always a-boasting from a fear of failing the test.

Let me play with the big boys and if I don’t win it’s okay
Rather be last in Gotham than first in Podunk Town, PA
There’s winners and losers in all we do but always the cowards die
A thousand times over while noblemen hold their heads high.

Don’t want to know about the minor leagues, they play in a smaller park
Give me the big-time Yankees, more character, confidence and heart
Until I play in a sports arena, I’m just a hacker in a two-bit band
Little ones act like this is Led Zeppelin when it’s only a grain of sand.
