lyrics

Bring me a coat and a parlor guitar
neon and smoke comin up from the bar
I’m out on the roof with a couple of friends
watchin the empire end

I guess America’s comin untied
half of my neighbors are living outside
whoever don’t break better learn how to bend
watching the empire end

you been throwing your weight around
and you wonder why everybody wants to take you down
every bully dreads the day they get their due
you’re gonna get what’s comin to you

three people dead at the hard rock hotel
I heard the crack in the air when it fell
neighborhood kids runnin down to attend
watchin the empire end

trash in the gutters and trash in the sea
trash in the hearts of the powers that be
freedom for all who have money to spend
watchin the empire end

you been throwing your weight around
and you wonder why they try take you down
every bully dreads the day they get their due
you’re gonna get what’s comin to you

I’m in the belly but I ain’t the beast
Like everyone else to the west and the east
they say we’re enemies, but I know we’ll be friends
after the empire ends
