lyrics
No Giants Sleeping
there are no giants sleeping
there is no interest from outer space
only fools here
and we’re working our hardest
raised on notions that don’t stand up to the weather
doing our best to work things out better
there is no god awaiting
if I could believe it I’d believe it, believe me
only mortals here
and we’re doing our damnedest
raised on a diet of confusion & tripe
doing our best to make a good life
what if there are no heroes coming
there is no safety in our artifice
only Nature
who is getting tired of us
I hate to say it like I know, cos I don’t
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know
I hate to say it like I know, cos I don’t
I don’t know I don’t know
I don’t know
there are no giants sleeping
there is no interest from outer space
only fools here
and we’re working our hardest
raised on notions that don’t stand up to the weather
doing our best to work things out better
there is no god awaiting
if I could believe it I’d believe it, believe me
only mortals here
and we’re doing our damnedest
raised on a diet of confusion & tripe
doing our best to make a good life
what if there are no heroes coming
there is no safety in our artifice
only Nature
who is getting tired of us
I hate to say it like I know, cos I don’t
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know
I hate to say it like I know, cos I don’t
I don’t know I don’t know
I don’t know
