C
Hey little emperor come down
from your throne

The hour glass is empty your

The battlements are crumblin\'
the walls are tumblin\' down
G
Your counselors and concubines
C
are getting\' outta town
[Chorus]

Some say it\'s an omen some say
C
it\'s the winds of change
F
Which ever way it\'s goin\' it\'s
C
blowin\' like a hurricane
[Verse]
C
Hey little conqueror where you
gonna go
G
The world is even smaller than
C
it was when you left home
Emptiness in front of you
and detritus behind
G
Nobody ever told you that
C
history was kind

Hey little hypocrite what
you gonna say

When you wind up standin\'

The leaves are in the teacup

the hieroglyphics on the wall

You ain\'t the first to rise up
