Big Big House

Picture a scene and pull it apart

Who owns this field? Who drives that car?

Who put up the sign saying this is mine

Keep of the grass and keep in line

Big big house in the country side

Souvenir shops don't close till nine

Postcards do when the sun don't shine

Please be gone by closing time

Picture a scene and pull it apart

Who built this house at the very start?

Who was forced to work for some food in their hand

And some space in the corner of the master's land?

Big big house in the country side

Souvenir shops don't close till nine

Postcards do when the sun don't shine

Please be gone by closing time

This exploitation based on class

Is here in the present like it was in the past

History builds an image that we never look behind

Someone's giving orders while the rest are kept in line

Here it is your heritage

Based on class and privilege

Mr. and Mrs. Average

Are thinking "Well this is fine"

Living somewhere in between

The cardboard box and the limousine

Part of their same society

Conveniently re-defined
