46. Empire

The Empire is here
and this much is clear
we draw power from your fears
ain't been THIS powerful in years
our imperial oligarchs heard your pleas for peace, and none of em cares
sucks to be you, You got a battleship, make our day if you dare
Our war exercizes are full of surprises
if nobody moves then MAYBE nobody buys it
remember us? Badassian empire. Leave no traces.
Got a million millitary bases all up in yo faces
in some cases, personnel is well behaved
and if not 'boys will be boys' we always say
we have to forge them into killers and sadly some of em crack
at which point it's easier to promote them than try to send them back
we got wallop weapons pre-paid
that don't come out for another decade
BE: we got it made

Badassian Empire: We got it made
We make the biggest weapons so we stay paid
We take your resources like every day
we just spread like viruses in every way

we can atom smash your puny planet, pulverized at a distance
*we don't even tell our people of your people's attempts at peaceful resistance
you can say that you don't hate us but that won't even matter
our newstation say that you do, so you just chatter
but best belive the moment you step the least bit out of line
it's a huge headline, look at what the insurgents are doing this time
and then we attack you whenever we want with unmanned drones
we don't have to get our hands dirty while we smote your hut like homes

we just care about money
we just care about money
we just care about money
and we just care about money
we just care about money
we just care about power
derived by controll of money
You want power? That's funny

The Empire Strikes Back, strikes first, strikes next
three strikes and you're out, lights out, cut off at the neck
for a moment the slaves thew off some chains and that did upet our rhythm
but Now it's perfectly legal again in the new for profit prisons
which keeps the trouble makers out of the way so that things can be more quiet
whoevers left will just tell on each other if anyone look fit to riot
we got a billion ways to divide the many into tiny pockets of few
and that's just what we always do and that's just how we've always ruled

oh yeah. almost forgot
we also care about guns
loves muh gun
