Support Your Local Emperor Lyrics

Support your local emperor Pay him tribute every time Let it be known he holds your fate From his fingertips shall flow the wine
Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet Wherever he walks rose beds be laid So that he may always feel secure In the vast empire that he made
But could you tell me What he's ever done for you?
I'm not the one that needed an army I'm not the one that needed respect I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember I'm not the one that they'll likely forget
It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk You can see that in the end, it's just a little bit of talk But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk To meow for him, to meow for him
Remember once when you were young It really was not all that long ago You reached out your hand and it was met You let your heart will tell you so
So bow your head, don't meet his eyes Royalty speaks, you then reply Someday he may find his throne is cold Someday he may chance to wonder why
But could you tell me What he's ever done for you?
I'm not the one that needed an army I'm not the one that needed respect I'm not the one that hopes they'll remember I'm not the one that they'll likely forget
It seems no one's gonna walk where he's willing to walk And with the ears of the bat and the eyes of a hawk You can see in the end, it's just a little bit of talk But a rodent's always looking for some cat he can stalk To meow for him, to meow for him
Support your local emperor Pay him tribute every time Let it be known he holds your fate From his fingertips shall flow all the wine
Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet Wherever he walks rose beds be laid Someday he may find his throne is cold In the vast empire that he's made
