Fall Like Rome - Old Radio

Shoulders back, eyes wide

Face the prize you’ve been denied

by the devil in disguise

and the lies he hides behind

But you choose to ignore

Consume and keep smiling

You tell me that you’re happy

But I know that you’re lying

Living in the shadows as your empire crumbles

Survival of the fittest only works in the jungles

Healthy as your fittest, only as rich as your poorest

How can you support us?

We know that you abhor us

It only takes a day

Will we still be here when you fade away?

Who’ll live with the mess you make

As you fall like rome

You privitise profits and you socialise losses

Putting ticks in the boxes, putting profits in pockets

Look what it costs

When you put faith in the bosses

How can we trust you?

All you do is double-cross us

Living in the shadows as your empire crumbles

Survival of the fittest only works in the jungles

Healthy as your fittest, only as rich as your poorest

How can you support us?

We know that you abhor us

It only takes a day

Will we still be here when you fade away?

Who’ll live with the mess you make

As you fall like rome

Since records began

From the Greeks to the Romans

Empires have always fallen

What makes you think you’ll be any fucking different?

It only takes a day

Will we still be here when you fade away?

Who’ll live with the mess you make

As you fall like rome
