Lyrics
We Were Giants
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.
We're dead soon if I don't save you
An asteroid's coming to wipe out the species and
Who's with me? We'll die trying
Do anything to save our families
My wife says: Please, don't go. We need you at home
You know how the kids get
(So, Gentlemen)
Say goodbye to your families first
We've got one last shot before a meteor crushes the earth
If we arrive at the ice age first we sing
Tell my mother I'm never coming home
Circumvent the problem with
Charts and graphs on the nature of impact
Life and death are just words when
Our hearts are set on being victorious
Let's move men, we've got a plan
And miles to go before the Sun sets
We stand so tall. We live above this world
We are so fucking invincible
(So, Gentlemen)
Say goodbye to your families first
We've got one last shot before a meteor crushes the earth
If we arrive at the ice age first we sing
Tell my mother I'm never coming home
So line up and prepare your tails, men
On my word, swing in unison because here it is
We're oh so easily amused by
Everything we though we know but
Oh, my God it's too late
And we're blow away, we were giants up until today
And we're blow away
(So, Gentlemen)
Say goodbye to your families first
We've got one last shot before a meteor crushes the earth
If we arrive at the ice age first we sing
Tell my mother I'm never coming home
