Big Idea Lyrics by AJR

Living Room

2015

[Intro]
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea

[Verse 1: Ryan]
I've seen almost every side of the industry
Except the side we've been working seven years to see
Just some kids with pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
(But no IDs)
So bar scenes weren't an option
Ukulele DJs, only band in the genre
And we're dreaming of Bahamas
So pass around the bottle
Good music's still good even if no one is watching

[Chorus: Jack]
Now you're on top of the world tonight
You can do anything you'd like
And through that struggle, we made a start
You can do anything you want
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Tryna stick it to the man before we're grown
And through that struggle, we made a start
You can do anything you want

[Post-Chorus]
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea

[Verse 2: Ryan, Adam]
John's too big to fail
Make it superstar
His label's doing the thing, and we were doing ours
Champagne at the discotheque
I was feeling kind of alone 'till I heard that track
Go!
And now we celebrate
If only for today
No story's a fairytale
I don't know if we'll make it
But we're not too big to fail

[Chorus: Jack]
Now you're on top of the world tonight
You can do anything you'd like
And through that struggle, we made a start
You can do anything you want
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Tryna stick it to the man before we're grown
And through that struggle, we made a start
You can do anything you want

[Bridge: Adam]
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Tryna stick it to the man before we're grown
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Tryna stick it to the man before we're grown

Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea
Pro tools, and a mic, and a big idea

[Chorus: Jack]
Oh oh
Now you're on top of the world tonight
You can do anything you'd like
And through that struggle, we made a start
You can do anything you want
And we're just children in a world of diversion
Tryna stick it to the man before we're grown
And through that struggle, we made a start
You can do anything you want

[Outro]
You can do anything you want
