When you study history, you study events that occurred which you may not perceive that you had any part in creating, but by which you are affected. So then even though you "didn't start the fire," i.e. didn't have a causal influence on historical events, you must "try to fight it," in other words, learn from the events and incorporate its lessons into your own life. And those of your friends and family, the "we."

Asked by Wiki User

Some sources say it is the sound of him throwing up; others say it was a garbled shout of excitement at having finished the track. Could just be an inside joke or word uttered by Joel to the band.

What is the lurics to Hot Shot by Billy Joel?

Asked by Wiki User

Well, you went uptown ridin' in your limousine

With your fine Park Avenue clothes

You had the Dom Perignon in your hand

And the spoon up your nose

Ooh, and when you wake up in the mornin'

With your head on fire

And your eyes too bloody to see

Go on and cry in your coffee

But don't come bitchin' to me

Because you had to be a big shot, didn't cha

You had to open up your mouth

You had to be a big shot, didn't cha

All your friends were so knocked out

You had to have the last word, last night

You know what everything's about

You had to have a white hot spotlight

You had to be a big shot last night

And they were all impressed with your Halston dress

And the people that you knew at Elaine's

And the story of your latest success

You kept 'em so entertained

But now you just don't remember

All the things you said

And you're not sure that you want to know

I'll give you one hint, honey

You sure did put on a show

Yes, yes, you had to be a big shot, didn't cha

You had to prove it to the crowd

You had to be a big shot, didn't cha

All your friends were so knocked out

You had to have the last word, last night

You're so much fun to be around

You had to have the front page, bold type

You had to be a big shot last night, Oh oh

Oh Oh whoa whoa oh, Oh Oh whoa who-oo-oo-oo-ah,

Oh Oh Oh whoa whoa oh, Oh Oh whoa.

Well, it's no big sin to stick your two cents in

If you know when to leave it alone

But you went over the line

You couldn't see it was time to go home

No, no, no, no, no, no

You had to be a big shot, didn't cha

You had to open up your mouth

You had to be a big shot, didn't cha

All your friends were so knocked out

You had to have the last word, last night

So much fun to be around

(LIVE VERSION ON 3RD CHORUS ONLY: "You know what everything's about")

You had to have the white hot spotlight

You had to be a big shot last night, Oh oh

Oh Oh whoa whoa oh, Oh Oh whoa.

Big shot … Big shot … Big shot … Mmmm … Big shot … Whoa whoa!

Big shot …

Do sociopaths ever attempt suicide?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Sociopaths commit suicide. But, not for the same reason that a non sociopath would. My cousin's son has been professionally diagnosed by paid counselors, Psychologists and Psychiatrists. He committed suicide last week end. Prior to that, he was becoming progressively violent to his family and friends. His girlfriend could no longer accept his physical abuse & began to threaten to leave him. He counter threatened, if you leave me, I'll hang myself with THIS rope. Because a Sociopath has no conscience of right and wrong, they seem to be unable to control their inappropriate and abusive behavior. They also don't seem to have an ability to process or rationalize the consequence of their actions. Therefore, an act to commit suicide doesn't address the sociopath with the same finality it would for a non sociopath. The thought that a suicide and the consequences of carrying that suicide out, wouldn't occur to a sociopath. It wouldn't occur to him or even bother him if he could think about it, that this action is a final action and there are no 'do overs'. For a Sociopath, this is an act to control, hurt and destroy. It is not an act of depression but rather of rage.
