[00:00.00]Every Bloody Emperor - Van Der Graaf Generator
[00:19.08]Written by:P Hammill
[00:38.16]By this we are all sustained
[00:44.60]A belief in human nature
[00:49.17]And in justice and parity
[00:53.11]All we have is the faith to carry on
[01:08.13]Imperceptible the change as
[01:14.48]Our votes become mere gestures
[01:18.41]And our lords and masters
[01:21.37]Determine to cast us
[01:24.06]In the roles of serfs and slaves
[01:28.29]In the new empire's name
[01:34.55]Yes and every bloody emperor
[01:37.79]Claims that freedom is his cause
[01:40.80]As he buffs up on his common touch as a get out clause
[01:52.35]Unto nations nations speak
[01:58.73]In the language of the gutter
[02:03.16]Trading prime time insults the imperial impulse
[02:08.94]Extends across the screen
[02:15.58]Truth's been beaten to its knees
[02:21.31]The lies embed ad infinitive
[02:25.21]Till their repetition becomes a dictum
[02:32.13]We're traitors to disbelieve
[02:38.57]With what impotence we grieve
[02:44.79]For the democratic process
[02:49.14]As our glorious leaders conspire to feed us
[02:54.55]The last dregs of imperious disdain
[03:00.23]In the new empire's name
[03:06.25]Yes and every bloody emperor's
[03:09.20]Got his hands up history's skirt
[03:11.93]As he poses for posterity over the fresh dug dirt
[03:17.31]Yes and every bloody emperor
[03:20.33]With his sickly rictus grin
[03:23.15]Talks his way out of nearly
[03:25.51]Anything but the lie within
[03:28.46]Because every bloody emperor
[03:31.65]Thinks his right to rule divine
[03:34.25]So he'll go spinning and spinning
[03:36.17]And spinning into his own decline
[05:19.25]Imperceptible the change
[05:25.08]As one by one our voices falter
[05:29.96]And the double standards of propaganda
[05:35.74]Still all our righteous rage
[05:48.65]By this we are all sustained
[05:55.37]Our belief in human nature
[05:59.81]But our faith diminishes
[06:03.92]Close to the finish
[06:06.44]We're only serfs and slaves
[06:10.78]As the empire decays
