about

You know the type: the big man in a small town, constantly looking for trouble because trouble's all he's good at. David thinks the chorus of this one is the ice cream van from hell.

lyrics

You've made a little go a very little way
your house number's higher but your head is still in the same place
the chip on your shoulder grows, now halfway through its third decade
it weighs you down
it wears you out
it warps you out of shape
your hands can't build but they can break

two fingers a drink then five a fist
you feel so hard at the thought of it
two fingers a drink then five a fist
you don't know much
but you know how to hit

You're a big fish in a stagnant pond
you're the big man in a world grown small
a tangle of hate and hurt and fear
the good die young
but you're still here
your hands can't build but they can break

two fingers a drink then five a fist
you feel so hard at the thought of it
two fingers a drink then five a fist
you don't know much
but you know how to hit
