Red Dawn Over the New Empire

RED SUN DAWNING OVER THE NEW EMPIRE The dawning sun raises bloody red Over the traffic clogged streets And noxious polluted air Of the capital of Imperial America The sun with its bloody red glare Reminds me of all the people who died This last year in Emperor's Bush's Three Wars We are the American Empire We are the power, we are the power We are perfect masters of the universes And will remake the world in our image In the so-called war against Evil The invasion and occupation Of foreign lands Because our leaders say They might, someday be a threat And the old words of ancient Rome Comes to mind Carthage must die Baghdad must be destroyed The heart of the evil empire Must be invaded And the evil of Saddam must be expunged So our great and glorious leaders Proudly proclaim Every day every moment On the conservative media Now owned, operated and controlled By the powers that have taken over The shadow government that runs The New American Empire And soon the entire world Will be under its sway We are the American Empire We are the power, we are the power We are perfect masters of the universes And will remake the world in our image We still have some freedom left Some space to rant and rave And grumble But soon, oh so soon This paper and that paper And this internet site and that site And this TV station and that TV Station Will be shut down In the name of national security We are the American Empire We are the power, we are the power We are perfect masters of the universes
