Letra de Little Empires

Little empires
Rise and decline
Gold-plated, hated, then forgotten
The cooling breeze
The coming freeze
Kiss your credentials while you’ve got them
Ah, little empires rise and fall…
Under the weight of a role that’s playing you
And lies that are laugh-track lame
Through crossed connections and botched end games
With no shame, now the lights are turning blue
Install some new locks and pray anyone believes a word you say
Eyes on the prize
In bloom, in prime
Cash out for pennies on the dollar
Capitalized and then capsized
They’re making room below the bottom
Under the weight of a role that’s playing you
And lies that are laugh-track lame
Through crossed connections and botched end games
With no shame, now the lights are turning blue
Install some new locks and pray anyone believes a word you say
Chained to this terminal like some petty criminal
But I don’t take it personal
