Atlas Shrugged

From the mountain, river flows And every single droplet goes To populations in repose Who, from below, look down their nose Titans told to understand That they must bow to lesser man Extended, soft, entitled hands Beggars' mouths filled with demands Watch as Atlas shrugs And leaves the heavens falling Upon their heads Every step he takes Another nation crumbling Shook from their beds Brilliant waxed and winged one Witnessed all his work undone A prideful child drawn to the sun Advice ignored for sake of fun Have-nots going on attack With whips across the thinker's back And then, with every stinging crack A glowing lightbulb turns to black Watch as Atlas shrugs And leaves the heavens falling Upon their heads Every step he takes Another nation crumbling Shook from their beds The oasis turned to dust The great machines begin to rust The thirsty start to question why No gifts have fallen from the sky If they keep cursing clouds for rain Then Atlas won't return again Watch as Atlas shrugs And leaves the heavens falling Upon their heads Every step he takes Another nation crumbling Shook from their beds
