Empire - David Byrne

In national elections

In songs raised on high

With stirring emotions

As tears fill our eyes

In democratic fever

For national defense

I am a mountain

I am a mountain

I am a mountain

Like birds upon a fence

Like birds upon a fence

Young artists and writers

Please heed the call

What’s good for business

Is good for us all

For as it is in nature

So it is in life

The weak among us perish

The weak among us perish

The weak among us perish

The strong alone survive

The strong alone survive

Voices like thunder

Decisions like steel

The past and the future

They belong to us all

From every mountain

The water and the land

The world that we’ve created

The world that we’ve created

The world that we’ve created

By working hand in hand

By working hand in hand
