Giants lyrics

Song information

Artist: Five Iron Frenzy
Album: All The Hype That Money Buy

Lyrics

When no one looks the clouds come rolling in
And under darkened skies the buildings grow big teeth and eyes
They breathe and walk through unending doors
Eating restaurants, and barbershops, and hardware stores
With catch phrases and jingles stealing
Steal and concrete lies
The corridors of babylon are craning for the skies

Chorus:
Who's behind the curtain anyway
Who pulls the levers and tells the lies?
Giants roam the land today
Gaining dominance with every stride

Oh don't you cry for the mom and pops
Nothing but dry eyes for integrity's demise
Hulking machines grind as whistles blow
Corporate darwinism crushes everything below
Advances in efficiency increasing productivity
Are narrowing the margin for liberty

(Chorus)

This house is haunted by the ghost of adam smith
The wealth of nations and the further death of innocence
To rule the world, the desire of every man
The earth is shaking
There are giants in the land

(Down with the giants x4)

See the blood red sun is rising
On the broken carnage from the darkest days
Giants locked together arm and arm
Pushing all the meek out of the way

(Chorus)
