Beam it off the satellite,
Send it through the T.V.,
Get it on the play list,
Preach it to the masses.

I want the big time; it's not for everyone,
I want the long line, to tell them what I've done,
Give me a bullhorn; I'll help your kingdom come,
I get all this, and heaven when I'm done.

Why stop with the little things?
Wires cross the continents,
The moment of conversion on the cover of my album.

I want the big time; it's not for everyone,
I want the long line, to tell them what I've done,
Give me a bullhorn; I'll help your kingdom come,
I get all this, and heaven when I'm done.

Heard some talk about the big, big, big, big, big, big, big deal,
Can't wait, (moving on)
I can't wait, (moving on)
Lawyers talking 'bout the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, contract.
Five years, (how long?)
Sign here. (moving on)

Send a tape to Carson,
Got a date in Vegas,
Start a church in L.A.,
Billboard off the freeway.

I want the big time; it's not for everyone,
I want the long line, to tell them what I've done,
Give me a bullhorn; I'll help your kingdom come,
I get all this, and heaven when I'm done.
I want the big time,
I want the long line,
Give me a bullhorn,
I get all this, and heaven when I'm done.
