guinea fowl

when we forget the giants they don't die

but just diminish into lesser folk

take ship and leave for homes just past the sky

 

there is a story that might make you cry

about the times that we were under yoke

when we forget the giants they don't die

 

their footprints don't grow smaller in the eye

and we remember that we used to joke

take ship and leave for homes just past the sky

 

before we give you reasons to comply

with the new rules that make you want to croak

when we forget the giants they don't die

 

the rivers where they drank have not gone dry

and yet we cannot one old name invoke

take ship and leave for homes just past the sky

 

where truth and reason give us leave to fly

in that one place where justice is not smoke

when we forget the giants they don't die

take ship and leave for homes just past the sky
