Blues Traveler - Support Your Local Emperor Lyrics
Music: bobby sheehan & chan kinchlaLyrics: john popperSupport your local emperorPay him tribute every timeLet it be known he holds your fateFrom his fingertips shall flow the wineTell him when he speaks the air is sweetWherever he walks rosebeds be laidSo that he may always feel secureIn the vast empire that hes madeBut could you tell me what hes ever done for you?Im not the one that needed an armyIm not the one that needed respectIm not the one that hopes theyll rememberIm not the one theyll likely forgetIt seems ones going to walkWhere hes willing to walkAnd with the ears of a batAnd the eyes of a hawkYou can see in the endIts just a little bit of talkBut a rodents always lookingFor some cat he can stalkTo meow for him, to meow for him...Remember once when you were youngIt really was not all that long agoYou reached out your hand and it was metIf you let your heart will tell you soSo bow your head dont meet his eyesWhen royalty speaks you then replySomeday he may find his throne is coldSomeday he may chance to wonder whyBut could you tell me what hes ever done for you?Im not the one that needed an armyIm not the one that needed respectIm not the one that hopes theyll rememberIm not the one theyll likely forgetIt seems ones going to walkWhere hes willing to walkAnd with the ears of a batAnd the eyes of a hawkYou can see in the endIts just a little bit of talkBut a rodents always lookingFor some cat he can stalkTo meow for him, to meow for him...Support your local emperorPay him tribute every timeLet it be known he holds your fateFrom his fingertips shall flow the wineTell him when he speaks the air is sweetWherever he walks rosebeds be laidSomeday he may find his throne is coldIn the vast empire that hes madeThat hes made...
