about

Title track of Big Stick mini album. A meditation on power and abuse. When do the bullied become the bullies? At what point do you decide to turn the tables take control and choose to hit back and not walk away.

lyrics

Big Stick

Lyric by Suzanne Rhatigan .

Under the cosh again
Taking it on the chin and I'm
Taking it like a man
Not some girly lady
Catering to your whim bending over backwards
Letting you break me in
And your doing it with your big stick

I tried to understand you bearing down with your big stick
It makes you feel like a man carve another notch in your big stick
Just because you can
I wish I had a big stick

Cos I would run you through
I will get revenge on you
When I have the power
I'm intoxicated
You think I'd empathise
But I will show no mercy
When I beat you back
I'll be doing it with my big stick

So try to understand me bearing down with my big stick
It makes me feel like a man carve another notch on my big stick
Just because I can
I wish I had a big stick

Under the cos again
Where I want to be
Taking it on the chin
You won't break me
Doing it with your big stick

Cos I will understand you bearing down with your big stick
It makes you feel like a man can carve another notch in your big stick
Just because you can I will understand...
