Big Boys Bickering Lyrics

Big boys bickering
That's what they're doing everyday
Big boys bickering
Fucking it up for everyone
Everyone

Guess while they're betting on the track
They're trying to win your money back
All of the taxes that you paid
Went to fund the masquerade

Big boys bickering
That's what they're doing all the day
Big boys bickering
Fucking it up in every way
Every way

We stand here waiting
Underneath the tower block
Who will win and who will lose?
Which way do the big boys choose?
Which of us will ever know what goes on?

Who will win and who will lose?

So while they argue through the night
Shaking their sticks of dynamite
Babies are dying through the day
They want to blow us all away

Big boys bickering
And so the game goes on and on
Big boys bickering
Fucking it up for everyone
For everyone, for everyone
For everyone, for everyone
Everyone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This protest song was featured as a bonus track on the international version of his album, Off The Ground. Caused a great deal of controversy too, due to its repetitive use of a certain word...
