The Tiger Lillies - Matchstick Man lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Matchstick Man lyrics]
You stand at twenty inches
In your stockinged feet
People pick you up and say that you are sweet
You’ll never beat the shit out of another man
You’ll never reach the top
Shelf they don’t understand
No one ever fears you, you are just a joke
Someone they can laugh at
Fun at which to poke
You’d like to pull a gun
Out blow them all away
Stop them looking down on you
Wipe their smiles away
After you have shot them stamped
On all their heads you can look down on them
Now they are all dead
Now you hold the power now you are big
With them all dead now you can live
Midget man
All of your children they’ll be small as well
They will all look up to you
And you will feel swell
You will be a big man, be a macho king
And when you die everyone will sing
Midget man
In your stockinged feet
People pick you up and say that you are sweet
You’ll never beat the shit out of another man
You’ll never reach the top
Shelf they don’t understand
No one ever fears you, you are just a joke
Someone they can laugh at
Fun at which to poke
You’d like to pull a gun
Out blow them all away
Stop them looking down on you
Wipe their smiles away
After you have shot them stamped
On all their heads you can look down on them
Now they are all dead
Now you hold the power now you are big
With them all dead now you can live
Midget man
All of your children they’ll be small as well
They will all look up to you
And you will feel swell
You will be a big man, be a macho king
And when you die everyone will sing
Midget man
