Empires 歌词

Can you hear the call? Do you recall your papa, when he sat you on his knee Telling you the stories of everything he's seen Parading other people, how they braved the battlefield Taking on an empire, fighting to be free Oh papa, tell me what you saw Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call? Oh papa, I can see it in your eye Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da Flying out the funnel, crackling on the radio Emergency connections on a telephone exchange You've reached the operator, what's the reason for your call? Can you tell me what's the point in building empty empires, now? Oh papa, tell me what you saw Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call? Oh papa, I can see it in your eye Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da Oh, now they know that a hundred years ago That they would build an empire strong Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away The battle goes around until we find a common ground What's the point in building empty empires, now? Oh papa, tell me what you saw Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call? Oh papa, I can see it in your eye Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da Oh papa, tell me what you saw Tan-tan-tara, can you hear the call? Oh papa, I can see it in your eye Tan-tan-tara, ba-bap-da-da Oh, now they know that a hundred years ago That they would build an empire strong Give it time, and these imaginary lines will fade away What's the point in building What's the point in building What's the point in building empty empires, now?
