If ever, oh ever, you happen to meet A poor giant ****** while out on the street Pay him no mind but do not lower guard For the lives of giant midgets are puzzling and hard For trapped deep inside the six foot illusion Hides three feet of anger, made worse by confusion Struggling to figure out why so much space Has been given to such a short, height-challenged race To move among people, just trying to fit in When on the inside they don't fit their own skin The rage and the hatred they've let manifest Into a mad need to put us to the test To figure out why, when we fit our insides There are places inside us where emptiness hides Which we try to fill up with things we don't need When all that they want is a chance to be freed But if they could see that in fact we don't fit Our minds contain people with nowhere to sit Each with a voice that commands us to do What it wants instead of what we want to do Each one so loud as to drown out the rest Each one insisting what it knows is best Leaving us mostly distressed and confused Our poor little brains worn out and abused If they could just see that although they reside Inside such a cavernous, double-sized hide We are really no different than they We all have our problems that won't go away But they are alone, no one else in their mind Festering within the shell they're confined And we have the voices that tell us to guard Against giant midgets, who have it so hard
