who hates whose freedom?

once there were giants here who made the rules
whose word was law because their words were just
now our wise leaders term those heroes fools

the people now are silent muzzled mules
thirsting for water finding only dust
once there were giants here who made the rules

true history's no longer told in schools
instead we're urged to more and more bloodlust
now our wise leaders term those heroes fools

who freed the slaves who saw them not as tools
but men and women who would the law adjust
once there were giants here who made the rules

but now we all will wade through blood in pools
since low necessity makes laws combust
now our wise leaders term those heroes fools

who made the laws and constitution as jewels
symbols of honour and of truth august
once there were giants here who made the rules
now our wise leaders term those heroes fools
