Hey little emperor come down from your throne The hour glass is empty your time has come and gone The battlements are crumblin' the walls are tumblin' down Your counselors and concubines are getting' outta town Some say it's an omen some say it's the winds of change Which ever way it's goin' it's blowin' like a hurricane Hey little conqueror where you gonna go The world is even smaller than it was when you left home Emptiness in front of you and detritus behind Nobody ever told you that history was kind Standin' on the corner your fortune blowin' in the wind Daddy didn't warn you there ain't no goin' home again No pomp and circumstance no more shock and awe Your just a little emperor that's all Hey little hypocrite what you gonna say When you wind up standin' naked on the final judgement day How you gonna justify it who you gonna call What if it turns out that God don't look like you at all The leaves are in the teacup the hieroglyphics on the wall You ain't the first to rise up you sure won't be the last to fall Hey little emperor come down from you throne And let another emperor climb on
