The Bigs are Coming to Town
\nVirginia Carraway Stark<\/p>\n
Bigs come
\nWhen they come to town
\nThey move the streets
\nThey turn the dumpsters upside down
\nThey put in DUMBS
\nThey do as they please
\nbecause
\nThey’re Bigs
\nAnd they do as they please
\nRewrite scripts
\nMake monsters where they will
\nIf you tell anyone you saw them
\nNo one will believe you
\nBecause they are the Bigs
\nAnd it’s best just to Deny
\nEvery Little you see knows it’s best
\nIf they see a Big
\nTo just turn and walk the other way
\nIf a Big asks you a question
\nYou best tell them the truth
\nThen forget they asked you
\nOr they’ll do worse than tell on you
\nHere’s a secret the Bigs
\nWant everyone to know
\nAnd that’s that
\nEven when they aren’t in town
\nAnd you don’t see them
\nThey will always see you
\nIf you see a man or woman
\nWith a knowing gleam
\nIn their eye
\nThey could look like their homeless
\nOr they could look like they work
\nFor the FBI
\nThey could look like your mom or dad
\nThey could be anyone at all
\nThey could look like your best friend
\nAll grown up
\nThey could even look like you or I
\nThey’re the Bigs
\nThey put in tunnels everywhere
\nAnd cameras too
\nYou don’t have to be paranoid
\nBecause they will know whatever they want to know
\nAnd dismiss the things that doesn’t matter to them
\nOr eradicate anything that gets in their way
\nThe Bigs come to town
\nThey’re watching at the cinema
\nThey’re watching at the street lights too
\nThey watch you in the elevator
\nThey see you in every camera’s gleaming eye
\nThe Bigs are always in town
\nThey come by gleaming car
\nThey come by shining jet
\nThey come by things that hover
\nAnd we are very sure
\nI will swear
\nDo not exist yet! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
