Last Night Of An Empire |
| One down, two to go |
| They multiply on impact for the show |
| But we didn’t switch off |
| So freedom took a long sad bow for us |
| Dropped and hung behind the curtain |
| Red as the operating rooms worsen |
| Sense a wrong, doom scroll on |
| To less important ills |
| Why aren’t we running for the hills? |
| Oh |
| Or hunting for the kill? |
| Oh |
| Dance like you’re on fire |
| Oh, go crazy on yourself |
| Your last rites sung by the choir |
| You can’t control this anyway |
| Dance like you’re on fire |
| And oh, you might as well |
| It’s the last night of an empire |
| In the light of no truths |
| As sure as sea levels are rising |
| In the spin of breaking news |
| You dropped your confidence in happiness (and your innocence) |
| This data indignity |
| That hoodwinked you for a great awakening |
| Meanwhile everything you ever cared about |
| Got hot-swapped out for someone else’s twisted dream |
| We should be running for the hills, oh |
| 'Cause no one’s got the will anymore |
| I haven’t got the will (Click. Buy. Uh!) |
| Dance like you’re on fire |
| Oh, go crazy on yourself |
| Your last rites sung by the choir |
| You can’t control this anyway |
| Dance like you’re on fire |
| And oh, you might as well |
| It’s the last night of an empire |
| So, it’s come to this? |
| We’re in the biz |
| A systemic hysteric’s normalizing disbelief |
| Temper, temper hate thy neighbor, that is… unless you agree |
| So, it’s come to this? |
| We’re in the biz |
| A systemic hysteric’s normalizing disbelief |
| Temper, temper hate thy neighbor, that is… unless you agree |
| Slam! |
| (Slam!) Pow! |
| Bang! |
| (Bang!) |
| Whack! |
| KaBoom! |
| (Boom!) KaPow! |
| Bam! |
| (Bam!) |
| Crack! |
| What the??? |
| Slam! |
| (Slam!) Pow! |
| Bang! |
| (Bang!) |
| (Just go and switch another episode on) |
| (Just go and switch another episode on) |
| Whack! |
| KaBoom! |
| (Boom!) KaPow! |
| Bam! |
| (Bam!) |
| (Just go and switch another episode on) |
| (Just go and switch another episode on) |
| What the??? |
| Dance like you’re on fire |
| Oh, go crazy on yourself |
| Your last rites sung by the choir |
| You can’t control this anyway |
| Dance like you’re not a liar |
| And oh, you might as well |
| The last night of an empire |
| Just go and switch another episode on |
| And turn the world off while you twiddle your thumbs |
| A population toughs it out until dawn |
| Don’t miss your putting buddies down on the lawn |
| Just go and switch another episode on |
| And turn the world off while you twiddle your thumbs |
| A population toughs it out until dawn |
| Don’t let the serious stuff distract you from |
| Your madness, your illness! |
| Somebody get this guy a doctor |
| A doctor, a doctor, doctor, doctor |
| Doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor |
| Doctor, doctor! |
| We should be running for the hills, oh |
| Or hunting for the kill, oh |
| Why aren’t we running for the hills? |
| Oh |
| Or hunting for the kill? |
| Oh |
