[verse 1]
they say rome wasn’t built in a day
down down down
but somehow it certainly fell that way
down down down

[verse 2]
fire is a hard lesson to learn
down down down
a few bricks left that didn’t quite burn
down down down

[chorus]
king george said, “everything’s for sale”
mercenaries bought for a little bit of tail
a little bit of gold or a “get out of jail”
but the empire’s goin’ down

[verse 3]
those who live by the sword die by the sword
down down down
whether or not they have faith in the lord
down down down

[verse 4]
some have too much of what too many lack
down down down
you push too hard and they push back
down down down
[chorus]
king george said, “i’m not as nuts as i seem
i might lose a colony but gain thirteen
some day they’ll do my fightin’ for mе”
as the empire’s goin’ down

[verse 5]
wеll, the preacher blessed the heathen on the white house lawn
down down down
and god said, “man, you must be puttin’ me on”
down down down

[verse 6]
tryin’ to hit the high notes with francis scott key
down down down
while the white house burns in effigy
down down down

[chorus]
king george said, “i’m a down+home boy
jumpin’ jehovah and jumpin’ for joy
barbeque and barbie+doll toys”
while the empire’s goin’ down

[verse 7]
well, genghis khan rode into history
down down down
while his sons carved up his destiny
down down down
[verse 8]
saladin united all the arab lands
down down down
now we steal their oil and kick their sand
down down down

[chorus]
king george said, “i’ve got a plan
we’ll build a wall around the promised land”
but one in the bush just got out of hand
and the empire’s goin’ down
the empire’s goin’ down
the empire’s goin’ down
