Nero - Aloud

Rinse, repeat, water it down

These boring beats are all around

Play it on the radio until you play it out some more

Advertise out on the air

Sanitize the public square

Squeak it till it’s squeaky clean and make it kinda

Sore inside

Rock n' roll prophets going down with the ship

Taken from us like the warmth of the sun

Swiveling their truths like they’ve been

Swiveling their hips

An honest life’s work is never truly done

Never truly done

Never truly

A programmed television

Personality revision

Will tell me facts and figures that will contradict the last thing said

A witchhunt or inquisition can be

Disguised as patriotism

To undermine the audience and

Shear the fleece of men

We need a leader or a superhero

Not a zero acting like he’s Nero

But we can never get high if we ain’t ever been low

And like the passing of time, this too shall go

Goodbye, Nero

Tantalize from head to toe at the crib of Nero

They play the lyre while the city burns
