Giants
Corporate Giants: Unveiling the Shadows in Modern Babylon
Lyrics
When no one looks the clouds come rolling in,
When unobserved, negative forces or problems arise.
And under darkened skies the buildings grow big teeth and eyes.
Urban development and industry become threatening and predatory.
They breathe and walk through unending doors,
Personification of urban structures as living entities.
Eating restaurants, and barbershops, and hardware stores.
Consumerism consumes various aspects of life, like businesses.
With catch phrases and jingles stealing,
Advertising and slogans contribute to falsehoods and deception.
Steal and concrete lies,
Deception and falsehoods become solid and unyielding like concrete.
The corridors of Babylon are craning for the skies.
A reference to the Tower of Babel, symbolizing human arrogance.
Who's behind the curtain anyway,
Questioning the hidden figures controlling events.
Who pulls the levers and tells the lies?
Exploring the manipulative forces behind the scenes.
Giants roam the land today,
Powerful and influential entities dominate the world.
Gaining dominance with every stride.
Increasing control and influence with every move.
Oh don't you cry for the mom and pops,
No sympathy for small businesses facing decline.
Nothing but dry eyes for integrity's demise.
Lack of concern for the erosion of honesty and principles.
Hulking machines grind as whistles blow,
Industrialization and progress override traditional values.
Corporate Darwinism crushes everything below.
Competition and corporate power crush everything beneath them.
Advances in efficiency increasing productivity,
Technological advancements limit personal freedom.
Are narrowing the margin for liberty.
This house is haunted by the ghost of Adam Smith,
Adam Smith's ideas contribute to the decline of innocence.
The Wealth of Nations and the further death of innocence.
The pursuit of global dominance corrupts moral values.
To rule the world, the desire of every man,
Expressing the desire for world control prevalent in humanity.
The earth is shaking,
Symbolizing significant societal upheaval.
There are giants in the land.
Powerful and oppressive forces are present.
See the blood red sun is rising,
Visualizing a tumultuous and destructive period.
On the broken carnage from the darkest days.
Reflecting on a dark historical era's aftermath.
Giants locked together arm and arm,
Large entities collaborate to dominate and exclude the weak.
Pushing all the meek out of the way.
Forcibly removing those who are powerless.
