Evil Empires Lyrics - Flashy - Electric Six

Back in the years before blood lost all its flavour 

You slipped and fell but fell into my favour 

But I 

Chose the land between Dan and Bathsheba 

'Cos I heard they were looking for a saviour 

So I focussed my attentions on the wars in the west 

Drew up a battle plan and put my armies to the test 

Came walking through the sands 

And you were wearing that dress 

Lost my interest in the boys in the mess 

Dropped to my knees and began to confess... 

I control the world 

You controlled my heart 

And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart 

[Oh yes it was]

You saw that only my blood lust could ever tear us apart 

So you raided my artillery for a tranquiliser dart 

You steadied; took your aim and shot me straight in the heart 

Let your tender reign over me start 

I spent the next twenty years with my head between your knees 

All the while making sure you heard my cautionary pleas 

There's a price on my head at which nobody would sneeze 

'cos I sailed the, sailed the seven seas 

Accumulating so many enemies 

They would fall for me 

And I would fall to you 

And your the closest thing I'll ever have to Waterloo 

When they write my history 

Will they include all your conquests of me?

I control the world 

You controlled my heart 

Your light would always guide my mother in the dark 

Your sight would be preserved in statues and in art 

And life was easier than watching evil empires fall apart.
