David Byrne - Empire lyrics

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 Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
