Pat [ Impressions of a Big Shot ]
You went to Telechoice Symposium riding in your limousine in your three piece suit, to meet all your Foe's
You thought you had DSL in hand, and the ITU, is that how it goes?
And when you wake up to reality, you'll smell the Funeral Pyre, and your job has gone out to sea.
When your on the Unemployment line, don't come bitchin' to me
Because you had to be a Big Shot, didn't you You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a Big Shot didn't you, didn't know all of what you were talking about.
You had to have the last word, that night, You think you know what DSL standards are all about.
You had to have the White Hot Spotlight You had to be a big shot that night oh, oh, oh
Oh, I was not impressed with your DSL puffed out chest, and Aware's IP you bought in vein
And the story of your latest success, just sounded so lame
But I do remember all the things you said, but your off base, I just thought you might want to know.
I'll give you one hint Ron, your tone ain't the way to go Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't you You had to show your as_ to the crowd You had to be a big shot didn't you You get people so stressed out
You had to have the last word that night No fun to be around
You had to have the front page, bold type You had to be a big shot that night oh, oh, oh
Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in If you know when to leave it alone But you went over the line You couldn't see it was time to go home
No, no, no, no, no, no you had to be a big shot didn't you You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot didn't you When you talk people get stressed out,
You had to have the last word that night It's so rude when your around,
You had to have the white hot spot light You had to be a big shot that night oh, oh, oh
