Empire Lyrics - David Byrne

In national elections 

In songs raised on high 

With stirring emotions 

As tears fill our eyes 

In democratic fever 

For national defense 

I am a mountain 

I am a mountain 

I am a mountain 

Like birds upon a fence 

Like birds upon a fence

Young artists and writers 

Please heed the call 

What's good for business 

Is good for us all 

For as it is in nature 

So it is in life 

The weak among us perish 

The weak among us perish 

The weak among us perish 

The strong alone survive 

The strong alone survive 

Photos 

Voices like thunder 

Decisions like steel 

The past and the future 

They belong to us all 

From every mountain 

The water and the land 

The world that we've created 

The world that we've created 

The world that we've created 

By working hand in hand 

By working hand in hand 

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm 

Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
