Evil Empire — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Theres a country where no one knows

Whats going on in the rest of the world

Theres a country where minds are closed

With just a few asking questions



Like what do their leaders say

In sessions behind closed doors

And if this is the perfect way

Why do we need these goddamn lies



This doesnt go down too well

"we give you everything and you throw it back

Dont like it here you can go to hell

Youre either with or against us . . ."



Theres a country thats great and wide

Its got the biggest of everything

Try to attack it and you cant hide

Dont say that you havent been warned



You cant hide in a gunmans mask

Or kill innocent folks and run

But if youre good at it they might ask -

Come on over to the other side



Theres a country thats tired of war

Theres a country thats scared inside

But the bank is open and you can draw

For guns to fight in their backyard



I could go on but whats the use

You cant fight them with songs

But think of this as just

Another tiny blow against the empire



Another blow against the evil empire



Just another blow against the evil empire
