These Imperial Times

There I was, a misanthrope Rejecting open arms And here I am alone and older Regretting all that harm Oh horses Yr messing with these forces Oh horses Yr messing with these forces These friends I like to judge Did they fall short of my expectations? Their best was never good enough So I pushed them all away Capricorn mother Oh lucky sin Who's your hero now, old man? You didn't look within Oh horses Yr messing with these forces Oh horses Yr messing with these forces These Imperial Times They caught us by surprise We were so busy hoping They didn't tear up the lies Oh These Imperial Times They caught us by surprise We can say we didn't see them Cuz we always turned our eyes Oh horses Yr messing with these forces Oh horses Yr messing with these forces
