Lyrics

Mountains of money
Men dressed up as news
And we fiddle while Rome burns
They're pissing away what others died to create We fiddle while Rome burns
Like Orwell's doublespeak they're taking their cues And we fiddle while Rome burns
The interstates connect more than divide Free will can only survive
Time to face the music
Time to make the fur fly
And we fiddle while Rome burns
Too clever by half
They play the short game We fiddle while Rome burns
No turning back the clock
There must be hope in this hell And we fiddle while Rome burns
And the freeways lead to the gravel roads To the town squares and the rodeos
While Rome burns While Rome burns While Rome burns While Rome burns
