Burn The Empire

Em7
"See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled
C                                   C
 First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralize them
             A
An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern
    A
And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people
   G                                                  F#                           F
We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident, because they would get out of 
control"

[Verse 1]
         Em
Did your daddy ever tell you you’ve got nothing to lose
                Em
There’s nothing better to have nothing but a point you can prove
            Em
Your single mother with her lover, she forgot about you
Em
Right brain on dopamine, left brain on cruise control


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
All your life you’re systematically
Em
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
Em
I won’t take a backseat
           Em
No fucking way man (there’s no fucking way)


[Chorus]
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees

[Verse 2]
N.C.                      Em
Boris like a Morris Minor old and obtuse
Em
Dazed and confused
N.C.
Eton Rifles, Gun, Sling, Loose


[Pre-Chorus]
    Em
And all your life you’re systematically
Em
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
Em
I won’t take a backseat
           Em
No fucking way man (there’s no fucking way)


[Chorus]
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
    C                      A
The world is controlled by people
            A                  G
Controlling people, so come on people
         G                        F#   B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees


[Post-Chorus]
Em  Em
    (Burn the empire, burn the empire)
Em
(Burn the empire, burn the empire)
Em
(Burn the empire)
