Only a great man
can truly understand
when you should make amends
you gotta take a stand
It is so tall
but the empire will fall
Crushed by its claws
time-of-death be called
The empire's family
Will sleep so heavy
when their landlady
take the empire's baby
But the baby loves the land
yeah, the baby loves the land
and the land lady can't have a baby
when he loves the land
And the family will be called
yeah the family will be called
when the land lady can't have the baby
the family will be called
so where will the baby go
when will the family know
When the son is a man
This man will love the land
will he be like his empire dad
who held a grudge against the land
where he poured his soul and hurt his hand
and he had to take a stand
the empire's son is a hippie
so shout if your with me
the empire will be a white rastafari
with the soul of a hippie
