ASSIGNMENT #1: What do you think the composer was trying to say with this song?One page only!Joe Jackson Evil Empire (1989)Theres a country where no one knowsWhats going on in the rest of the worldTheres a country where minds are closedWith just a few asking questionsLike what do their leaders sayIn sessions behind closed doorsAnd if this is the perfect wayWhy do we need these goddamn liesThis doesnt go down too wellwe give you everything and you throw it backDont like it here you can go to hellYoure either with or against us . . .Theres a country thats great and wideIts got the biggest of everythingTry to attack it and you cant hideDont say that you havent been warnedYou cant hide in a gunmans maskOr kill innocent folks and runBut if youre good at it they might ask -Come on over to the other sideTheres a country thats tired of warTheres a country thats scared insideBut the bank is open and you can drawFor guns to fight in their backyardI could go on but whats the useYou cant fight them with songsBut think of this as justAnother tiny blow against the empireAnother blow against the evil empireJust another blow against the evil empire
