Frankie and the Witch Fingers
Empire
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
You want to build an empire
Atom of the human
You want the silicon wired
In comes automation
How did we get here from fire?
Nearing the eschaton
You want to build an empire
Concrescence of human
[Refrain]
It’s what you want to do
It’s what you want to do
It’s what you want to do
It will destroy you

[Bridge]
Face it, our humanness must stabilize
Uh-huh, I see what you mean
Vessels must be forever synthesized
Uh-huh, I see what you mean
Our task: communicate and unify
Uh-huh, I see what you mean
Farewell, it’s time for us to say goodbye
Uh-huh, I see what you mean, oh
