Songs Of Empire lyrics

They're not that different than the other guys The same movie stars they idolize Are the ones that we take home at night And they don't envy us anything Not blonde looks, cars, or varsity teams Upper row seats, jim beam He had a friend, a genius, he was used To getting passed by (by by by by) They sat and listened to "joe the lion" And the animal grew inside The l.i.r.r. can't hold them down I should know, i've seen them around Skinny ties, bull's eyes, and strange new sounds They just want all that their parents did Gang of friends and gifts to give Come on, come on, we all wanna go, kid He had a friend, a genius, he was used To getting passed by (by by by by) They sat and listened to song of empire And the tears fell from their eyes (eyes)
