The Rookie
It's your decision, it's not up to me, and I've seen it oil before got a wardrobe full of Ts,
You got the hunger, you got four-wheel drive, you want to reach for the heaven want to touch the sky,
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big
ambitions you got dreams,
So what's the big idea?
Take my advice keep it simple, keep it real,
So you're the competition, you've made that clear, the new boy on the block and you got no fear, When you're at the bottom you can only climb, you might just make it to the top given time!
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big ambitions you got dreams, So what's the big idea?
Welcome to my city, welcome to my world, if you really think you can make then hang on to your soul, It all comes down to favours and who or what you know, Bending rules so slightly, being right when you're wrong,
In the right place at the right time in the right mind to blow
away the field,
What you need most of all is a big idea!
I sense the instinct, I sense desire, your motivation is something we all recognise,
You're something special, something new, you're passion, fire and anger is something we could use,
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big ambitions you got dreams, So what's the big idea?
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big
ambitions you got dreams,
So what's the big idea?
Take my advice keep it simple, keep it real,
Got to do the numbers, got to do the math,
you could feather your nest you might take a bath,
maybe too hot blooded, you got to be cold,
Bow down to the power do what your told
Till you're in the right place at the right time in the right
mind to blow away the field,
What you need most of all is a big idea!
You got the hunger, you got four-wheel drive, you want to reach for the heaven want to touch the sky,
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big
ambitions you got dreams,
So what's the big idea?
Take my advice keep it simple, keep it real,
So you're the competition, you've made that clear, the new boy on the block and you got no fear, When you're at the bottom you can only climb, you might just make it to the top given time!
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big ambitions you got dreams, So what's the big idea?
Welcome to my city, welcome to my world, if you really think you can make then hang on to your soul, It all comes down to favours and who or what you know, Bending rules so slightly, being right when you're wrong,
In the right place at the right time in the right mind to blow
away the field,
What you need most of all is a big idea!
I sense the instinct, I sense desire, your motivation is something we all recognise,
You're something special, something new, you're passion, fire and anger is something we could use,
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big ambitions you got dreams, So what's the big idea?
You wanna be the big man, you got big plans, big
ambitions you got dreams,
So what's the big idea?
Take my advice keep it simple, keep it real,
Got to do the numbers, got to do the math,
you could feather your nest you might take a bath,

Bow down to the power do what your told
Till you're in the right place at the right time in the right
mind to blow away the field,
What you need most of all is a big idea!
