Empire State of Mind Songtext
von Gold & Youth
Empire State of Mind Songtext
Well I grew up in the client-state of a petro king
With a complicated take on things like human rights
But baby that′s the sacrifice
For bringing joy to the world
And I learned young how the west was won
With Christ's big heart and a bigger gun
But it wasn′t enough so we took the moon
Because nazi rocket science too, can bring joy to the world
The war on drugs, this righteous cause
To clear our streets of criminals
Now civilized by an opioid
So the Sackler family can enjoy
Spreading joy around the world
New York City, the world loves you
And retribution was surely duе
To the zealots who brought you hell
Boy thе heroes in Langley taught them well
How to infiltrate joy into the world
Can't we all just get along like Amazon and Raytheon
Coming together to make a drone
To bring us lunch and kill their sons
In a synergistic 2-for-1
Ballistic joy to the world
Please stop resisting all the joy in your world
Just a car full of celebrities singing about the joy in your world
A string of bad luck, in this final turn,
We gathered around and watched our cities burn
"Who could have possibly predicted this?!" said everyone
So we'll boldly venture into the black
Guided by a Grimes soundtrack
We′ll liberate some foreign stars
And stick a flag on the face of mars
There′s beauty in starting again
When you're patient zero of original sin
The mantra rings across the land
"How clever, look at us, we′ve done it again!"
We're bringing joy to whole new worlds
You must admit we′ve certainly got a knack for bringing joy
To whole new worlds
In time these aliens will learn to love the joy
We bring to whole new worlds
We're bringing joy to your world
You′d better hope you don't have cheap bananas
Or else we're bringing joy to your world
You′d better hope you don′t have dead dinosaurs
Or we'll bring joy to your world
You′d better hope you don't have big plans
Or else we′re bringing
With a complicated take on things like human rights
But baby that′s the sacrifice
For bringing joy to the world
And I learned young how the west was won
With Christ's big heart and a bigger gun
But it wasn′t enough so we took the moon
Because nazi rocket science too, can bring joy to the world
The war on drugs, this righteous cause
To clear our streets of criminals
Now civilized by an opioid
