I know a man, he's a bit of a brat
Writes to his friends, says he know where it's at, yeah
I know a man, thinks he's running the world
Let's take him down, hold him down, we don't want him around no more
All on his own but he don't give a damn
Three years later still playing the land
Yeah he's not the problem
It's the cause that's the problem
Just not enough to go around no it's never enough of it
All empires fall
All empires fall
Ya, I think it's time that we learned Chinese
Something's coming from the east can't you feel the breeze
People talking about the end of history
Don't they see it's just a cycle, just a cycle spinning around us again
Rome was strong 'till the bitter end
Plagued by tax since she couldn't defend you
She was stretched to the fiddle like the skin on a drum
Getting pounding and I'm pounding and I'm pounding for the way to the wait is
All empires fall
All empires fall
All empires fall
Why don't we take time to relax
Retreat to the facts
It's anything and everything from dusk to dust
So let's rise in 10 years, a collection of fears
Is this as good as it gets? Ready on a stone at the 2 million years
All empires fall
All empires fall
All empires, they all fall
Hey!
