(Wallace-Winter) |
|
Cardboard empire would you crumble to the ground |
|
As we watched by |
|
Shipping magnate are you stranded on the ground |
|
With no dog to fly... |
|
Round the table sat the kings of circumstance |
|
The puppeteer would pull his strings |
|
And we would sing and dance |
|
As the cardboard empire fell |
|
Stone Age |
|
Neros sat behind their desks of steel |
|
Trading paper clips |
|
Of our empire there was nothing left untouched |
|
But potato chips |
|
We sat down at the banquet and the jester danced a reel |
|
The gladiator drew his sword, we knew we were the meal |
|
As the cardboard empire fell |
|
Who are the people, who are the people |
|
Who are the people that you think you are? |
