lyrics

Wealthy white Americans in dirt poor little places
The bad old days are right there just written on their faces
There’s a break down ahead, there’s a break in your heart
And I don’t find it funny when you’re busy screwing stars
Surfing on the wave and you wanna form a team
Where you can write your articles and you know we can live the dream yeah

Here in the empire of the sun
Here in the empire of the sun

They’ve got cameras on the corner down there
Got women on the mind it’s true
You‘re gonna follow in the footsteps baby
We’ve got real big plans for you

Sitting out the back yeah and thinkin’ there of you
I gave myself the license to say my love is true
Don’t tell me your secrets and I won’t tell you mine
The perfect wave is out there you can have it any time

Here in the empire of the sun
Here in the empire of the sun

They’ve got ladies on the corner down there
Got cameras on the mind it’s true
You’re gonna follow in the footsteps baby
We’ve got real big plans for you
Got real big plans for you

You know it’s true they’re gonna walk all over you
You know it’s true ain’t nothin’ you can do
You know it’s true they’re gonna walk all over you
Yeah yeah

Here in the empire of the sun
Here in the empire of the sun
Here in the empire of the sun
Here in the empire of the sun
