lyrics

Choirs

We had to hustle Sunday morning
Use all our muscle to get going
Going to use your wealth
Empire ain't going to build itself

We read the message on the pages
We do believe he really saves us
But you know what else?
Empire ain't going to build itself

Lord knows I'm an awful sinner
Get fat, watch the rest get thinner
Lord knows it makes him tired
Empires crumble, crumble when you got no humble choirs

We heard the message on the station
With every blessing comes temptation
Going straight to hell
Empire ain't going to build itself
