Lyrics

Empire Now

Sun coming up on a dream come 'round
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from

Sun coming up on a dream come 'round
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from

After all
Darling, I wouldn't sell the world
The way that things are turning
If it falls
I would hold on for all it's worth
The future's so bright it's burning

Sun coming up on a dream come 'round
One hundred years from thе empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
Onе hundred years from
One hundred years from

Martyrs of our revolution
Their spinning caused the earth to shake
The problem brought its own solution
They power now the world we've made

After all
Darling, I wouldn't sell the world
For all the gold or sterling
If it falls
I would hold on for all it's worth
The future's so bright it's burning

Sun coming up on a dream come 'round
One hundred years from the empire now
Sun coming up on a world that's easy now
One hundred years from
One hundred years from
