Well, office work can be a source of inspiration... (see the third verse)
giants fall
deception and scheming paved the way for your reign
now you lay down the rules for your personal gain
organizing parades, celebrating your might
aren't you afraid of the day you'll be losing the fight
enjoy the time while you're standing tall
because there are times when the giants fall
I've seen mountains wash away
I've seen dreams grow small
I've seen empires crumble
I've seen giants fall
speculating with money that doesn't exist
ignoring all warnings you strain financial risks
it's a monstrous bubble that you have blown up
while you skim off the cream that floats on its top
today you look great and you're standing tall
but the bubble will burst and the giants will fall
I've seen mountains wash away
I've seen dreams grow small
I've seen empires crumble
I've seen giants fall
you bootlicked your chief while you used to kick down
your hard earned promotion's made you a man of renown
oppressing your subjects while impressing the boss
how long do you think will he fall for false gloss
today you may feel like standing tall
but the day will come when the giants fall
I've seen mountains wash away
I've seen dreams grow small
I've seen empires crumble
I've seen giants fall
there are millions of people in the back row
each one of them waiting to enter the show
I've seen mountains wash away
I've seen dreams grow small
I've seen empires crumble
I've seen giants fall
