MINOR THREAT
- Small Man, Big Mouth Lyrics / with translationsCompete, compete, do it for the boys
Empty barrels make the most noise
You're always on the move
You've always got something to prove
What the f*ck are you fighting for?
Is it because you're five foot four?
You better be happy with what you've got
You'll never get any more
You laugh at a man when he tries
You're trying to make up for your size
To you life is a rivalry
Keep a step ahead of me
SMALL MAN, BIG MOUTH
Empty barrels make the most noise
You're always on the move
You've always got something to prove
What the f*ck are you fighting for?
Is it because you're five foot four?
You better be happy with what you've got
You laugh at a man when he tries
You're trying to make up for your size
To you life is a rivalry
Keep a step ahead of me
