Burn The Empire

Burn The Empire Lyrics

See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled. First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them. An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern. And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people, "We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of control".

Did your daddy ever tell you you've got nothing to lose?
There's nothing better to have, nothing but a point you can prove
Your single mother with her lover, she forgot about you
And right brain on dopamine, left brain on cruise control

And all your life, you're systematically
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
And I won't take a backseat
No f**king way man, there's no f**king way

The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees
The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees

And Boris like a Morris Minor, old and obtuse
And dazed and confused
Eton rifles, gun sling loose

And all your life, you're systematically
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
And I won't take a backseat
No f**king way man, there's no f**king way

The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees
The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees

Burn the empire, burn the empire
Burn the empire, burn the empire
Burn the empire

Get out of control
Get out of control
Get out of control
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
