Big Boy Lyrics by Minuteman

Resigned to Life

2002

[Verse 1]
We went out for lunch at twelve
And we had drinks until six
I just needed another fix
You came alive, then came too fast
It's just temporary, it'll pass
These feelings are not mutual
Didn't I tell you that you've got a lot to lose?
But you lit the bonfire anyway
Bringing down the house with your antics
And wasting all of my time with pedantic questions
Leading me astray
[Chorus]
I'd die right here with the fear that you hate me
I just can't deal with the forces that break me
I'm signing deals with the devils inside me
I'd like to know that you are right behind me
I just don't need you around to remind me
That I'm just as weak as the next man, yeah
[Verse 2]
It was a good idea at the time
In the sun, the tunes were sublime
In the background to your vacuous girlfriend's nasal whine
And you know a good sign if you'd showed some class
But you see your position's a total farce
Just wasting our time with your inane banter
I'm feeling you're full of lies you never could believe in
But I still might like you anyway
And bring me to my knees with your wisdom
And see the damage you've done
With the words you casually bandy around
[Chorus]
I'd die right here with the fear that you hate me
I just can't deal with the forces that break me
I'm signing deals with the devils inside me
I'd like to know that you are right behind me
I just don't need you around to remind me
That I'm just as weak as the next man
[Outro]
I'm a big boy now
I'm a big boy now
I'm a big boy now
