Evil Empire |
| There’s a country where no one knows |
| What’s going on in the rest of the world |
| There’s a country where minds are closed |
| With just a few asking questions |
| Like what do their leaders say |
| In sessions behind closed doors |
| And if this is the perfect way |
| Why do we need these goddamn lies |
| This doesn’t go down too well |
| «We give you everything and you throw it back |
| Don’t like it here you can go to hell |
| You’re either with or against us. |
| . |
| .» |
| There’s a country that’s great and wide |
| It’s got the biggest of everything |
| Try to attack it and you can’t hide |
| Don’t say that you haven’t been warned |
| You can’t hide in a gunman’s mask |
| Or kill innocent folks and run |
| But if you’re good at it they might ask — |
| Come on over to the other side |
| There’s a country that’s tired of war |
| There’s a country that’s scared inside |
| But the bank is open and you can draw |
| For guns to fight in their backyard |
| I could go on but what’s the use |
| You can’t fight them with songs |
| But think of this as just |
| Another tiny blow against the Empire |
| Another blow against the Evil Empire |
| Just another blow against the Evil Empire |
