Story behind the song
This is the bonus track for the album, Nameless. It was left off of the main album because thematically it didn't have the same overt ministry theme that the rest of the album had. But I really enjoyed the song and decided to put it on as a bonus. Its just a fun song about how some people take themselves too seriously and need to humble themselves.
Lyrics
STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS
Words and Music by: Eric J. Hollingsworth
INTRO: A, F#m, D, E, A, D, E
VERSE 1:
A F#m D
You’re walking around like you’re 10 feet tall
E A
And bullet proof, like you’ll never fall
D E
From your picture perfect little pedestal
A F#m D
You act like it’s your life’s mission
E A
To treat people like something you stepped in
D E
And talk down to them like fools
PRECHORUS:
D Bm7
Ah, but there’s more to the day than just 9 to 5
A E
And there’s more to living than just being alive
CHORUS:
A5 F#5
You think you’re a big shot
D
But you’re not
E A
You’re just standing on the shoulders of giants
F#m D E
Looking down your nose at people you think are just ants
A
For you to stomp on
D Bm7
But you’re never gonna walk on me no no
E
You’re never gonna walk on me
VERSE 2:
A F#m D
You put on your best fake smile
E A
Shaking hands and hugging all the while you’re just
D E A
Searching for a spot to stick your knife
F#m
You try to be a superhero
D E A
‘Cause you’re so scared of being a zero
D E
When they finally write your epitaph
PRECHORUS:
D Bm7
Ah, but there’s more to success than just what you get
A E
And if you think you know it all then you don’t know nothin’ yet
CHORUS:
A5 F#5
You think you’re a big shot
D
But you’re not
E A
You’re just standing on the shoulders of giants
F#m D E
Looking down your nose at people you think are just ants
A
For you to stomp on
D Bm7
But you’re never gonna walk on me no no
E
You’re never gonna walk on me
BRIDGE:
D Bm C#m7
I don’t mean to be rude
D
But there are some things that just need to be said
D Bm C#m
Maybe its not you
D E
Maybe it’s just all in my head
(Mute)
…nah
CHORUS:
A5 F#5
You think you’re a big shot
D
But you’re not
E A
You’re just standing on the shoulders of giants
F#m D E
Looking down your nose at people you think are just ants
A
For you to stomp on
D Bm7
But you’re never gonna walk on me no no
E
You’re never gonna walk on me
OUTTRO:
A
