Support Your Local Emperor — текст песни (blues traveler)

Music: bobby sheehan & chan kinchla

Lyrics: john popper



Support your local emperor

Pay him tribute every time

Let it be known he holds your fate

From his fingertips shall flow the wine

Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet

Wherever he walks rosebeds be laid

So that he may always feel secure

In the vast empire that hes made



But could you tell me what hes ever done for you?

Im not the one that needed an army

Im not the one that needed respect

Im not the one that hopes theyll remember

Im not the one theyll likely forget

It seems ones going to walk

Where hes willing to walk

And with the ears of a bat

And the eyes of a hawk

You can see in the end

Its just a little bit of talk

But a rodents always looking

For some cat he can stalk

To meow for him, to meow for him...



Remember once when you were young

It really was not all that long ago

You reached out your hand and it was met

If you let your heart will tell you so

So bow your head dont meet his eyes

When royalty speaks you then reply

Someday he may find his throne is cold

Someday he may chance to wonder why



But could you tell me what hes ever done for you?

Im not the one that needed an army

Im not the one that needed respect

Im not the one that hopes theyll remember

Im not the one theyll likely forget

It seems ones going to walk

Where hes willing to walk

And with the ears of a bat

And the eyes of a hawk

You can see in the end

Its just a little bit of talk

But a rodents always looking

For some cat he can stalk

To meow for him, to meow for him...



Support your local emperor

Pay him tribute every time

Let it be known he holds your fate

From his fingertips shall flow the wine

Tell him when he speaks the air is sweet

Wherever he walks rosebeds be laid

Someday he may find his throne is cold

In the vast empire that hes made

That hes made...
