Lyrics
Big Picture
(Mike Graham)
Incorrect Thoughts, 1980
Pissed Off . . . with Good Reason, 1996
Same Thoughts, Different Day, 2010
The factories have been looking for me
They’ve been talking among themselves
Trying to get me for their shelves
There’s a nine-to-fiver slot empty for me
It’s the best that they have got
But it’s not right for me
I don’t fit the big picture
I don’t fit the big picture
The big structure has been trying to get me
They’ve been trying every day to help me find my way
Fill out these forms for us
Do your best for us
Cause all we want from you
Is to tell you what to do
I don’t fit the big picture
I don’t fit the big picture
I don’t wanna play the game
I don’t want be the same
As all the people on the street
Who always look so beat
Who walk like every step
Is the last one they may get
The factories have been looking for me
They’ve been talking among themselves
Trying to get me for their shelves
Fill out these forms for us
Do your best for us
Cause all we want from you
Is to tell you what to do
I don’t fit the big picture
I don’t fit the big picture
I don’t fit the big picture
I won’t fit the big picture
