Paroles de Cardboard Empire

Cardboard empire would you crumble to the ground As we watched by Shipping magnate are you stranded on the ground With no dog to fly... Round the table sat the kings of circumstance The puppeteer would pull his strings And we would sing and dance As the cardboard empire fell Stone Age Neros sat behind their desks of steel Trading paper clips Of our empire there was nothing left untouched But potato chips We sat down at the banquet and the jester danced a reel The gladiator drew his sword, we knew we were the meal As the cardboard empire fell Who are the people, who are the people Who are the people that you think you are?
