Giants - Five Iron Frenzy

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 barber shops, and hardware stores

With catch phrases and jingles stealing steel and concrete lies

The corridors of Babylon are craning for the skies

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

Who’s behind the curtain anyway

Who pulls the levers and tells the lies?

Giants roam the land today

Gaining dominance with every stride

«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.»

See the blood red sun is rising

On the broken carnage of the darkest days

Giants locked together arm in arm

Pushing all the meek out of the way

Who’s behind the curtain anyway

Who pulls the levers and tells the lies?

Giants roam the land today

Gaining dominance with every stride
