Empire Video (MV)

I'm gonna build me an empire
And you will adore me
I'll set you all free

I got eyes made of sapphire And lungs like a Peepal tree See how loud I can scream

I am a vampire Sucking on my thumb
Playing with atom bombs.

I am a live wire
Touch me and you are gone
Watch me just take it all


Everybody here knows that I should play the hero

Put me on your talk show and I'll change
The world.

But when this all falls down don't go looking at me

Yeah when the shits hits fan man guess where I'll be

I'll be on an island, sipping Johnnie Walker, somewhere in the highlands, in my little bunker

People understand that I'm in it for me.

I was a troubled child
Now I'm your favourite toy But I'm just a decoy.

I told you my history Dressed up in red and blue Colonial afternoons.

As a boy I was porcelain Now I'm all leather
Sew me together

I guess I've got everything But it's all whatever
I could do better

Everybody here knows that I should play the hero.

Put my on your talk show and I'll change the world.

But when this all falls down don't go looking at me
Cause when the shits hits fan man guess where I'll be
I'll be on an island, sipping Johnnie Walker, somewhere in the highlands, in my little bunker
People understand that I'm in it for me.
