Queensryche - Empire Lyrics
Last night the word came downTen dead in chinatownInnocent, theyre only crime wasBeing in the wrong place at the wrong timeToo bad, people say, whats wrong with the kids today?Tell you uright now theyve got nothing to loseTheyre building empire!Johnny used to work after schoolAt the cinema showGotta hustle if he wants an education, hes got a long way to goNow hes out on the street all daySelling crack to the people who payGot an ak-47 for his best friend, business the american wayChorusEastside meets westside downtownNo time the walls fall downCant you feel it coming? empire!Cant you hear it calling?Black man trapped again, holds his chains in his handBrother killing brother for the profit of anotherGame point, nobody winsDecline, right on timeWhat happened to the dream sublime?Tear it all down well put it up againAnother empire?ChorusCant someone here stop it...?
