Romans

We tried to be different

We tried to pretend

We tried to be all things

We tried to be friends

Nothing's that easy

I wish it was then

We don't exist now

And we won't again

And we fought with the system

And it went to our heads

And we tried to be Romans

Now we're beggars instead, we're beggars instead

I know there's a meaning

And I know there's a when

But I can't help leaning

On the other side of my head (On the other side of my head)

And nothing's that easy

I wish it was then

We don't exist now

We won't again, we won't again

And we fought with the system

And it went to our heads

And we tried to be Romans

Now we're beggars instead, we're beggars instead

And we fought with the mission

Forgot what we said

We tried to be Romans

Now we're beggars instead, we're beggars instead

And we fought with the system

And it went to our heads

We tried to be Romans

Now we're beggars instead

Oh, and we fought with the mission

Forgot what we said

And we tried to be Romans

Now we're beggars instead, we're beggars instead

Tried to be different

Tried to pretend
