Original lyrics

We live in a land where justice is dying The rich are getting richer And the poor are multiplying Seems like corruption's got us all in a vice Yeah if think that I'm crazy Then you better think twice I'm watching the empire go down Down, down, watching the empire go down An innocent man is wrongly accused A woman and child are badly abused It ain't just a matter of who's right or wrong 'Cos who pays the piper Calls the song I'm watching the empire go down Down, down, watching the empire go down I see the end of the constitution Word on the street is revolution No I can't look away from this suffering hate I think we're aware that it's much too late All the good men are either dead or gone It's time to be counted Time to be strong I'm watching the empire go down Down, down, watching the empire go down
