Lyrics for Empire by Queensryche:
| | | Artist: | Queensryche |
| | Album: | Empire | | Track: | Empire | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 447 | | | | Lyrics: | Geoff Tate/Michael Wilton)
Last night the word came down
Ten dead in
Chinatown
Innocent, they're only crime was
Being in the wrong place at the wrong
time
Too bad, people say, what's wrong with the kids today?
Tell you uright now they've
got nothing to lose
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after
school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education, he's got a long way to
go
Now he's out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
Got an
AK-47 for his best friend, business the American way
CHORUS
Eastside meets westside
downtown
No time the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear
it calling?
Black man trapped again, holds his chains in his hand
Brother killing
brother for the profit of another
Game point, nobody wins
Decline, right on time
What
happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down we'll put it up again
Another
EMPIRE?
CHORUS
Can't someone here stop it...?
