Stillborn Empires

When we first met

You were on the run

From situations

And the bad things that you'd done

And then you did the same to me

Now you're irrevocably gone

And still, on the run

On the run

Daddy didn't want you

And mummy gave you pain

Now anyone who gets inside

Is just gonna get the same

Should we sound the horn

Or is it all a crying shame?

Who cares who's to blame

The outcome's all the same

Just another dream that died

To stillborn empires

Just another dream that died

In stillborn empires

She was on the outside

But never looking in

And men were just a resource

To capitalise with

They're so fucking dumb

All you do is lead them with their dicks

And it's all a game

But daddy's little stick horse

She had her blinkers down

For all her little easy toys

Were sentient and proud

So they drop the coin

Oh and they piss her fire out

And kiss on the change

Step up and hold her reins

Just another dream that died

To stillborn empires

Just another dream that died

In stillborn empires

It was a business

It was a business doing pleasure with you

It was a business

It was a business doing pleasure with you
