Fee-fi-fo-fum
I’ve been seeking out giants to learn from
So I can leap from their shoulders
And land as one
See-high-low-scum
The men I’ve praised are so numb
I’ve learned their ways
I’m so dumb
They pluck their prey
Like a slow hum
When they come your way
You won’t hear it
They won’t even seem to appear it
But they go to bed as monsters
And rise on stage as gods
Turning mobs into mobsters
Cutting lives like cards
Every tear drop is drowned
By the roaring applause
They’ll play all the big hits
Or so you may think
What about the NDAs for the bruises
And the blood in the sink?
What about the reprise for the lives that were lost?
Nobody told me a pound of flesh is what great art costs
If that’s so, then for me
Gee-I’m-no-one
But I’ve sought women as muses
To find, oh lord, those who made me think
Those who made me see
Giant or god? I’d rather be me
A broken-armoured knight
With a feather in his heart
They don’t like what I say?
Cool, I’ll be the upstart
Just 21-years-old
But when I stopped
To smell the flowers in their tracks
My soul was rocked
Don’t follow he who hasn’t broken in his shoes
A knight in shining armour’s never fought a single duel
Don’t worship humans that were shit humans
The loudest preacher won’t always start the right revolution
Teach kids why dead eyes are bad luck
Teach giants to watch where they walk
And if the old gods refuse to learn new tricks
Then I think all the old gods should call in sick
They say I’m unholy
Well, if the cap fits
I’ll take the scars, the stitches
Earn stripes, take hits.
If I blaze a tail, call it a rajpath
But if I raise an idle throne
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fuck
You have my permission
To kill this King Schmuck
