“Big Game” is the fourth track from Everything Everything’s fourth album, “A Fever Dream”. It appears to be a straightforward attack on U.S. President Donald Trump, featuring allusions to stories of Trump’s small hands and his unusual complexion.
[Verse 1]
You think it's new, but it is not new
I cannot wait to see the look on your face
'Cause someone's gonna prick that bovine balloon

Even little children see through you
Someone's gonna pull your big trousers down
And I think you might explode

I'm tired and you are ridiculous
God for a clown and a clown for a pig
Ever so small but you think it's big, I know
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro]
You are ridiculous
Rubbery legs gonna march all night
Tell me again 'cause it makes me smile
