Cover art for Giants lyrics by Five Iron Frenzy

I love how Reese Roper from FIF holds a mirror up to you in Giants, showing you the world at its worse and then asks you to see yourself in the picture. Are we contributing to the worlds infatuation of celebrating power and domination? Notice the very curt 'desire of every man' bit.

To rule the world, the desire of every man, The earth is shaking, There are giants in the land.

Reese uses industry giants as the main metaphor here (Adam Smith stuff) with its clear adoption of survival of the fittest to conquer all competition, in order to dominate.

IMHO Reese is a damn lyrical genius, in the same league as Bono and Jon Foreman (Both Christians in a secular band writing biblical poetry into their music). Reese I salute you.
