The Snuts - Burn The Empire

[Intro]
Em7
“See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled
C C
First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralize them
A
An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern
A
And I think there’s an element in the thinking of some people
G F# F
We don’t want people to be educated, healthy and confident,
because they would get out of control”

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Em
Did your daddy ever tell you you’ve got nothing to lose
Em
There’s nothing better to have nothing but a point you can prove
Em
Your single mother with her lover, she forgot about you
Em
Right brain on dopamine, left brain on cruise control

[Pre-Chorus]
Em
All your life you’re systematically
Em
Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
Em
I won’t take a backseat
Em
No fucking way man (there’s no fucking way)

[Chorus]
C A
The world is controlled by people
A G
Controlling people, so come on people
G F# B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
C A
The world is controlled by people
A G
Controlling people, so come on people
G F# B
Burn the empire, bring her to her knees

[Pre-Chorus]

And all your life you’re systematically

Dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
Em
I won’t take a backseat
Em
No fucking way man (there’s no fucking way)
