Joe Jackson - Evil EmpireLyrics

There's a country where no one knows What's going on in the rest of the world There's 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 doesn't go down too well "We give you everything and you throw it back Don't like it here you can go to hell You're either with or against us . . ." There's a country that's great and wide It's got the biggest of everything Try to attack it and you can't hide Don't say that you haven't been warned You can't hide in a gunman's mask Or kill innocent folks and run But if you're good at it they might ask - Come on over to the other side There's a country that's tired of war There's a country that's scared inside But the bank is open and you can draw For guns to fight in their backyard I could go on but what's the use You can't 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
