View Full Version : Empire
spjets gets one guess at where I heard this song. :)
Last night the word came down
Ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, they're only crime was
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Too bad, people say, what's wrong with the kids today?
Tell you uright now they've got nothing to lose
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education, he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
Got an AK-47 for his best friend, business the American way
CHORUS
Eastside meets westside downtown
No time the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling?
Black man trapped again, holds his chains in his hand
Brother killing brother for the profit of another
Game point, nobody wins
Decline, right on time
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down we'll put it up again
Another EMPIRE?
CHORUS
Can't someone here stop it...?

Hey, wasn't it you that wanted me to tell you how Cars was after I saw it? Anyway, it's an excellent movie. Best animated film I've seen in a while. You definately need to get the kids out to see this one.

Are you ready for the new sensation?
Well, here's the shot heard 'round the world.
All you backroom boys salute when her flag unfurls.
Well, guess who's back in circulation?
Now, I don't know what you may have heard
but what I need right now's the original goodtime girl.
She's a vision from coast to coast,
sea to shining sea.
Hey, sister, you're perfect host.
Show me your bright lights and your city lights, all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose.
Bright lights in your city lights, all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout it.
When she walks, watch, the sparks will fly,
firecrackin' on the fourth of July.
No sad songs tonight, something's in the air.
She's a real state of independents.
So pretty when her rockets glare,
still provin' any night that her flag is still there.
She's a vision from coast to coast,
sea to shining sea.
Hey, sister, you're perfect host.
Show me your bright lights and your city lights, all right.
I'm talkin' 'bout the Yankee Rose.
Bright lights in your city lights, all right.
I'm in love with the Yankee Rose.
Ah, she's beautiful, alright,
mm, nothin' like her in the whole world.
Yeah, she's right on time, I'm on the case.
Pick up the phone, no time to waste.
She got the beat and here's a little bit comin' your way.
Bright lights, city lights...

Dave Lee Roth in a Queensryche thread? Ohhhk...

I had to laugh just a little bit that you even knew it was David Lee Roth.
Panzer Division Marduk 06-12-2006, 05:55 PM I still have Eat Em And Smile and Skyscraper on cassette.
Might take them into work tomorrow actually, since my mp3 player died..

You left out the part where he's having a conversation with Steve Vai's guitar.
Comedy Gold.

Glad you left out the speak part....I can't stand speak parts in songs...like in Enter Sandman, the whole "now I lay me down to sleep..." What a bunch of crap.
Anyway, Queensryche rocked in the day....Take Hold of the Flame, The Warning, Queen of the Reich, Eyes of a Stranger.....all rock...

Yes! If you have VH1 Classic, every now and again they have "Metal Mania"...Watching these videos just cracks me up! They should all be heard and not seen.
