Songtekst:
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
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 from the darkest days
Giants locked together arm and arm,
Pushing all the meek out of the way
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
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 from the darkest days
Giants locked together arm and arm,
Pushing all the meek out of the way
