Fiat Empire

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I never asked for more than just what I have Now, what more can I do with that? I see this fall to come; it's crashing all around No, I don't think that there's time to waste The last time was simply a little taste Now, I think it's just a matter of time [Pre-Chorus] Wide awake, we step to the fall point Never had thought I'd see this [Chorus] Why, why, empire cannot last forever Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside Why, empire cannot last forever Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside [Verse 2] Just because we all had our part to play Doesn't guarantee us just one more day We've seen the cost before; it's far too much to pay Desperate times require desperate measures now Ask a free man, and he'll show you how Our fathers paved the way for us to lash out [Pre-Chorus] Wide awake, we step to the fall point Never had thought I'd see this [Chorus] Why, why, empire cannot last forever Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Keynesianism, live the lie Trapped in this prison, destroying lives (Lives) [Guitar Solo] [Refrain] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Pre-Chorus] Wide awake, we step to the fall point (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Never had thought I'd see this (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) [Chorus] Why? Asking why, why, empire cannot last forever Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside Why, empire cannot last forever Why, why, the best-laid plans can all be cast aside
