Songs with the word "Empire" in the lyrics?

[alcibiades_mystery]

Hey all. I'm putting together a mix that has songs with the word "Empire" in the lyrics (it doesn't have to be in the title). I figure this is a good place to get some suggestions. Help?

A few I have so far:

The National, "Fake Empire"
The New Pornographers, "My Rights Versus Yours"
Sisters of Mercy, "Lucretia, My Reflection"


One proviso: Don't bother with Queensryche. I'm not putting that shit anywhere near a mix.

1. "Five Eight Eight, Two Three Hundred, Empiiiiiiire."

Does that count?

That's the only one I could think of too!

14. Closet Monster - "The Empire Strikes Iraq"

I don't think it actually says empire in the song, but it's in the title at least, if that counts.

Mother Russia how are you sleeping
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees the snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow

Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by

Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Be proud of what you are
Now it has come
Freedom at last
Turning the tides of history
And your past

Mother Russia
Dance of the Tsars
Hold up your heads
Remember who you are
Can you release
The anger the grief
Can you be happy
Now your people are free
