Burn The Empire Lyrics by The Snuts

Burn The Empire

2021

[Spoken Intro]
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"
[Verse 1]
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 a lover, she forgot about you
And right brain dopamine, left brain on cruise control
[Pre-Chorus]
And all your life, your system
Magically dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
And I won't take a backseat
No fucking way man, there's no fucking way
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
And Boris like a Morris Minor, old and obtuse
And dazed and confused
Eton rifles, gun sling loose
[Pre-Chorus]
And all your life, your system
Magically dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
And I won't take a backseat
No fucking way man, there's no fucking way
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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)
[Outro]
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
