    American Empire

    by: Slushie

    It's like a bad western: nobody asks questions until the
    shootout is done. Do you think I'm a bad person for
    cursing in that song? I know I'll never make it, but at
    least I can say I tried, and no matter where I take it,
    my dreams, they never die. Warm your frozen trends in the
    blazing fire fueled by the American Empire. Time can
    crush you. We've lost all our virtues. It's not okay. I
    know I'll never make it, but at least I can say I tried,
    and no matter where I take it, my dreams, they'll never
    die. Holding on, I want my fifteen seconds of fame.
