The Snuts


I wanted the word ‘empire’ to feel open, almost rhetorical to what constitutes or qualifies as an oppressive factor in your life, because it certainly exists for 99% of people.

We were driven to standup against the negative effects of big corporations on the everyday person. We all understand that these companies act ruthlessly and unethically in the name of profit.

I think young people have always wanted a fairer and more equal society and it’s the voices of the old, the discontent and the ignorant that try and squash that. We believe in 2022 there is no place for fascism or oppression of any kind and we must burn the empire that represents it.

Jack Cochrane via Radio X
[Spoken Intro]
See, I think there are two ways in which people are controlled
First of all, frighten people, and secondly, demoralise them
An educated, healthy and confident nation is harder to govern
And I think there's an element in the thinking of some people
"We don't want people to be educated, healthy and confident
Because they would get out of control"

Did your daddy ever tell you you've got nothing to lose?
There's nothing better to have, nothing but a point you can prove
Your single mother with a lover, she forgot about you
And right brain dopamine, left brain on cruise control

And all your life, your system
Magically dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
And I won't take a backseat
No fucking way man, there's no fucking way

The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on, people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees
The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on, people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees

And Boris like a Morris Minor, old and obtuse
And dazed and confused
Eton rifles, gun sling loose

And all your life, your system
Magically dumbfounded by problematic diplomats
And I won't take a backseat
No fucking way man, there's no fucking way

The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on, people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees
The world's controlled by people controlling people
So come on, people, burn the empire, bring her to her knees

Burn the empire, burn the empire
Burn the empire, burn the empire
Burn the empire

(Get out of control)
(Get out of control)
(Get out of control)

Burn the empire, bring her to her knees
