Empire

In the style of

Queensrÿche

Lyrics

last night
the word came down
ten dead
in chinatown

innocent
their only crime
was bein'
the wrong place
at the wrong time
too bad people say
what's wrong with
the kids today

johnny used to work
after school
at the cinema show
gotta hustle if he
wants an education
yeah he's got
a long way to go

now he's out
on the streets
all day
selling crack
to the people
who'll pay

east side
meets west side
downtown no time
the walls fall down
can't you
feel it comin'
can't you
hear it callin'

black man
trapped again
holds his chains
in his hand

brother
killin' brother
for the profit
of another
game point
nobody wins

declines
right on time
what happened
to the dream sublime

east side
meets west side
downtown no time
the walls fall down

can't you
feel it comin'
can't you
hear it callin'
can't someone here
stop it

in fiscal year
1986 to '87
local state
and federal
governments

spent a combined
total of sixty-point-six
million dollars
on law enforcement

federal
law enforcement
expenditures
ranked last
in absolute dollars
and accounted for
only six percent of
all federal spending

by way of comparison
the federal
government
spent twenty-four
million more on
space exploration

and forty-three
times more on
national defense and
international
relations than on
law enforcement

can't you
feel it comin'
can't you
hear it callin'

can't you
hear it callin'
can't you
hear it callin'

can't you
hear it callin'
can't you
hear it callin'

can't you
hear it callin'
can't someone here
stop it
