Lyrics
Wished I Was A Giant
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"Wished I was a giant" said
"Man get off the street!"
Spoken like a traffic cop
Cronies at his feet
Turned on his radio and picked up the noise
Age rules with reason
and who's to disagree?
Not Mr. Spit with his abrupt delivery
And Mr. Intelligent is just a wannabe like me
And who makes the breakfast?
And who gasses the truck?
The same little bee that stung the bull
And caused the bull to buck
Only a matter of time before we have to pay
If you were 10 years younger
And I was a sunbeam
"Wished I Was A Giant" said
"Man, it's just a dream"
Only a matter of time before we have to pay...
