Lyrics

We created the state in Iran
We created the Afghan Taliban
We created the hate in Iraq that provided the spark for the Isis clan
We created this mess, playing the world out like a game of chess
Anybody wanna guess, who the pawns are
Getting fucked like a porn star?
Damn right that's us, any fool can tell
Banging on the door at the gates of hell
You'd do well, to educate yourself instead
Of getting caught up tryna make your wealth
Forget about yourself for one minute people, look around the world
How bad does it need to get before you get
Upset and realise that you can't rebel?
You think you know now what you know
But you know what you see and you see what they show you so come along
You think the world is set in stone
Look around, how many Romans do you see?
Everything that rises must fall
You think you know now what you know
But you know what you see and you see what they show you so come along
You think the world is set in stone
Look around, how many Romans do you see?
Everything that rises must fall
Give you more to receive your less
How many gadgets you get for your pound of flesh?
40 Hours a week of pure stress, just to be able to dress to impress
While the rest of the world might as well be Mars
Empire never really meant to last
Throw rocks in a house of glass like a madman living in Center Parks
But don't listen to me, go read up on your history and you'll see
It's never really what it appears to be
Looking through the lens of the shit they show on TV
But the news we see, at best serves
The interests of the powers that be
Saying if you wanna drink tea
And live in a democracy then the market's got to be free
You think you know now what you know
But you know what you see and you see what they show you so come along
You think the world is set in stone
Look around, how many Romans do you see?
Everything that rises must fall
You think you know now what you know
But you know what you see and you see what they show you so come along
You think the world is set in stone
Look around, how many Romans do you see?
Everything that rises must fall
Wages fall and they push up the prices
These people don't know what nice is
Take a look at the crisis with Isis
Governments left to their own devices
You might think that's unrelated but
The fact is reality is complicated
And the backroom deals that seal the fate of
These countries never even get debated at all
Even when the country's at war
Even when all the young men fall
And all because the energy companies still want more
While the poor, here in the UK can't even afford to stay warm
While they struggle surviving, profits are rising
Ask yourself why we support the violence
You think you know now what you know
But you know what you see and you see what they show you so come along
You think the world is set in stone
Look around, how many Romans do you see?
Everything that rises must fall
You think you know now what you know
But you know what you see and you see what they show you so come along
You think the world is set in stone
Look around, how many Romans do you see?
Everything that rises must fall
