Bring me a coat and a parlor guitar
Neon and smoke comin up from the bar
I'm out on the roof with a couple of friends
Watchin the empire end
I guess America's comin untied
Half of my neighbors are living outside
Whoever don't break better learn how to bend
Watching the empire end
You been throwing your weight around
And you wonder why everybody wants to take you down
Every bully dreads the day they get their due
You're gonna get what's comin to you
Three people dead at the hard rock hotel
I heard the crack in the air when it fell
Neighborhood kids runnin down to attend
Trash in the gutters and trash in the sea
Trash in the hearts of the powers that be
Freedom for all who got money to spend
Watchin the empire end
You been throwing your weight around
And you wonder why they try take you down
Every bully dreads the day they get their due
You're gonna get what's comin to you
I'm in the belly but I ain't the beast
Like everyone else to the west and the east
They say we're enemies, but I know we'll be friends
After the empire ends
Neon and smoke comin up from the bar

You been throwing your weight around
And you wonder why everybody wants to take you down
Every bully dreads the day they get their due

You're gonna get what's comin to you
I'm in the belly but I ain't the beast
Like everyone else to the west and the east
They say we're enemies, but I know we'll be friends

Can we get extra line breaks in the lyrics to split verses from refrain, etc.?
Goodbye and thanks for all the fish.

Yep, she's Canadian and watching the US dissolve into chaos from across the border is a great perspective. Love her 🍉🍉
Totally not Canadian...unless Virginia quietly managed to secede and become our 11th province without anyone noticing.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Um ... the all knowing Wiki says she is born in Maryland and based in New Jersey. Not that the rest of the statement isn't uncomfortably true.

Not sure that I completely dig her vocals, but the energy and the message are infectious...spin it again....
Sometimes it's good to listen to music for grown-ups!
