Ra!
So you think you've got friends in high places
With the power to put us on the run
Well, forgive us these smiles
on our faces
You'll know what power is
when we are done, son
You're playing with the big boys now
Playing with the big boys now
Oh, that's pretty
Every spell and gesture
Tells you who's the best
You're playing with the big boys now
(By the power of Ra) You're playing with the big boys now
(background chanting gods' names)
You're playing with the big boys now
(background chanting gods' names)
Stop this foolish mission
Watch a true magician
Give an exhibition how
Pick up your silly twig, boy
You're playing with the big boys now
(background chanting gods' names continues)
You're playing with the big boys now
You're playing with the big boys now
By the might of Horus
You will kneel before us
Kneel to our splendorous power
You put up a front, you put up a fight
And just to show we feel no spite
You can be our acolyte
But first boy it's time to bow (kowtow)
For it's your own grave you'll dig, boy
You're playing with the big boys
Playing with the big boys [overlapping repeats]
Playing with the big boys now!
