Giant Games - Black Bonzo

Little boys with the old ones' toy

Waging war on the men who claimed they knew the righteous way

Taught before by those who claim that they knew

Giant games of our tiny lives

Roll the dice and watch our heads start a rollin'

Down the hill

Sit right back and let the games begin

And they looked to the sky with a finger on the trigger

Let us all sing along

Come along sing the song

So we can all go to sleep

Reassured our lives will linger

Let us walk down the street while the rest can’t stop running

From home

From the soundtrack of a roll

Children cranking the wheel of war

Dressed as leaders and neatly in disguise as

Men of great

Slowly turning

Soon it rolls free along

We’re all like the miners at the nursery

Letting the children loudly bang their hammers

There’s not enough toys for all to go around

Back to the plant and to the manufacture

«My wallet is thin!»

he said, the Headman

Increase production

Keep those hammers banging

You do that for me

It’s a justified right

That’s what he said

The man of all the men

Let’s put on a show for all the people

Make them believe we are victorious

We fooled them before so why not once more?

Put them to sleep the ones with disbelief

«You better be quick!,» he said, the Headman

The rope on my neck is pulling tighter

They’ll dance on our graves if they would find out

They left us behind

The men of all the men

And they looked to the sky with a finger on the trigger

Let us all sing along

Come along sing the song

So we can all go to sleep

Rest assured our lives will linger

Let us walk down the street while the rest can’t stop running

We all still believe as the number’s climbing higher

With a rifle in their hand only bullets save the land

So let us all sing along

Come along sing a song

Let us march down the street as our days start getting shorter
