Empire Builder Lyrics by Urge Overkill

Americruiser/Jesus Urge Superstar

1990

Empire
Empire, build it higher and higher
He's coming for booty
On a black-eyed horse, he'll ride it up the wall
They're gonna set you up pretty, Geronimo
They'll stick you coal-washing at the cigar store for some firewater
Well, Happy Thanksgiving

You know they're coming for burgers, chicken and wurst
You know their burgers really are the best
The king of burgers
Yeah, they got your empire-issue polyester vest
Opportunity's knocking, your empire's building
And you're ready to call it a day
But the meal's already in motion
Well on the train of tomorrow

Get out of the way
Empire Builder
Well you've got to hit the road pretty mama's boy like an empire
Builder
Well you've got to say goodbye to your mama
Like an empire builder

Peacemaker
Treebaker
Salt Shaker
Earthquaker
Side Shafter
Kingmaker
Lawbreaker ass kicker motherfucker
