Lyrics

We've been advised
That you're not very nice, that you're
Telling the world you own us
We hear you're saying
That our season is through
'Cause you've got to pay the devil his due

Keep your nose up
Attitude's king
When you get hit
You won't feel a thing

You've been on a roll
Pushing us around
Here's your high five
Now you're going down

We're all aware
That you don't play fair, but we're
Done trying to appease you
You wanna run it
Like you already won it
I think you've got amnesia

Keep your nose up
Attitude's king
When you get hit
You won't feel a thing

You've been on a roll
Pushing us around
Here's your high five
Now you're going down

It's on
It's set
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya

It ain't
A threat
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya

The bigger they come
The harder they fall

The bigger they come
The harder they fall

The bigger they come
The harder they fall

The harder they fall

Keep your nose up
Attitude's king
When you get hit
You won't feel a thing

You've been on a roll
Pushing us around
Here's your high five
Now you're going down

It's on
It's set
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya

It ain't
A threat
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya

The bigger they come
The harder they fall

The bigger they come
The harder they fall

The bigger they come
The harder they fall

Yeah, we're comin' to get ya

About The Song

From Goliath: A Song By Song Description, NewReleaseTuesday.com, November 17th, 2014:

I think at least half the band served time in high school marching band, and as we were writing this one, it kept wanting to be something that could be played at halftime. So John laid down the horn section and the lyric naturally followed--it seemed like something perennial losers would sing to get themselves amped up for the possibility they could actually win one. The title came after the song was finished. I was reading Malcolm Gladwell's "David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants," and as we were mixing the song, I heard the lyrics again and thought that if we titled this "Goliath," it might add an interesting subtext. There wasn't any specific intent to naming the album "Goliath" beyond the fact that we get a perverse enjoyment taking on projects where the odds aren't in our favor.
