Empires Never Last

Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall
A bully with a smile, transparently nice
Beware as she carries a big spoon and a long sharp knife
She’ll diss you and stab you as soon as look at you
She’ll point the finger and pull the trigger
For no good reason
And your only crime was to tell the truth
She don’t like it, no she don’t like it
Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall
Little Miss Glory seeker taking all the accolades
But if something goes horribly wrong her enthusiasm rapidly fades
And she’ll run a mile to distance herself if it doesn’t work out
And let some other poor sods take the blame, of that there is no doubt
She don’t see it, no she don’t see it
Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall
And I don’t know how she sleeps at night
She blots out the truth and believes in all her own hype
No, I don’t know how she sleeps at night
She enjoys the thrill of a kill and a dirty fight
She don’t see it, no she don’t like it
Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall
Always remember empires never last
They always crumble and fall
When I look at you, I see nothing at all
Just a big black hole where there should be a soul
