Everlast: Kill the Emperor Meaning
Kill the Emperor Lyrics
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can't rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Yo, it's like...
-
"I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can't rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor"
The first thing to take into note, the Emperor was Bush. We're wasting money on a war that is still going on, and the poor are still hungry. But don't speak out, you're just another mother fucker to the man and they'll just get rid of you.
"Yo, it's like resident evil
The emperor's people don't give a mad fuck about your life
They'll fuck your wife and your kids, they've got people doing bids
For being slaves to the dope that they supplying
Still they keep lying"
They'll pretend to care about you, but then take everything you own and leave you with nothing...and they have people willing to do that.
"And tell you that it's some cartel
While they waiting on the heaven they're creating the hell
And they rape the constitution while you wait in your cell
And for the victors go the spoils and that's oil wells, call Orson Wells"
They change the constitution to fit their own needs so you can't get a break.
"Cause the world's at war
And the front-line is just outside your front door
Fuck the New York Times and fuck CNN
And politicians that pretend to be the working man's friend"
The world at war is the coalation forces.
"I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can't rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor"
*See first paragraph*
"Yo, the emperor's a liar, the fields are on fire
Oil prices get higher, time's about to expire
Hurricane Katrina and Asian tsunamis
Adolescent mommies and high school snipers"
This is my favortie paragraph to do. They did nothing for the Katrina victims or the Tsunami victims. The high school snipers refer to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and the other shooters....for all you people who have been living under a rock since 1999, google columbine massacure.
"Final days are coming, get ready for trial
Americans, they live in fifty states of denial
Have a coke and a smile or some crack in a vile
You can even buy a pill to keep you hard for a while"
They'll push whatever they can in order to keep you quiet.
"For these girls gone wild in this world at war
It's the same old whores, it's the new crusade
Yo, the plan been made, they lied to invade
I'm on the palace lawn with my live grenade
'Cause"
They lied to invade Iraq, because they just wanted to oust Sadaham.
"I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor
Let's stop the war and feed the poor, let's kill the emperor
Let's stop the lies, the dead can't rise, silence every mother's cries
I think I would, if I could, kill the emperor"
