Rome is Burning

Music kept playing when the smoke went up, bought a lil liquor from a styrofoam cup
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning
Music kept playing when the smoke went up, ever wonder how they even make a styrofoam cup?
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning

Just wait until your axis of power unravels
Watch it all fall down like the tower of babel
It's all happen before you can read it in the torah
The same thing that happened back at Sodom and Gomorrah
They call it a gentleman's club to make it sound pretty
How witty, but I say welcome to sin city
And last time he flooded it, then showed us the covenant
But do you trust in it the way that you trust in your government?
Its goin up in flames its a slow burn
Like were waitin till its at the point of no return
Maybe your way of thinking is rearranging as I speak
Maybe just like Gandhi said just be the change you want to see
Instead of takeing it for granted, until you lose it
You can fiddle as rome burns, but will you face the music?
They either scared to speak the truth, or they don't know
And they keep their mouth shut even though it's right under their nose

Music kept playing when the smoke went up, You'll be gone long before your styrofoam cup
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning
Music kept playing when the smoke went up, How you even gonna recycle that styrofoam cup?
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning

Instead of slowin down and payin attention they move faster
It might take a world wide natural disaster
You don't know the mother is your earth? you bastard
Think you'll make it to heaven cause of how you paid your pastor?
Think its hunky dory? like you live with no concerns?
Think its all shits and giggles you fiddle as rome burns
Will these lyrics even reach you if you don't really care?
Its sick the way they teach you and they leave you ill prepared
They marchin to the slaughter pray you don't follow them there
They diggin their own grave and they fall in their own snares
What you don't care about this world? you live in it
You gonna wait to repent to the last minute?
Then make it to nirvana until then it's nevermind?
The four horseman ain't enough you gonna wait for the seven signs?
We all in this. Get ready for apocolypse ain't no escapin unless you've got yourself a rocket ship

Music kept playing when the smoke went up, there ain't nothing green about a styrofoam cup
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning
Music kept playing when the smoke went up, I bet your microwave safe with your styrofoam cup
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning

The fame, the games, the glitter, the gold
The facebook, the twitter, its all crowd control
Change the way your thinking, that's the rebel movement
Your spirit starts awakening, that's the revolution
Your ideas of a family life that's all good
That shit ain't even real, you got that from Hollywood
He feels like he can't achieve it so he's somewhere in a hotel
In California fornicating with a Jezebel
Act like its all positive, when so much here is negative
And you'll be lukewarm like your faded off of sedatives
But I know this american pie ain't all peaches and cream
And this candy coated life ain't as sweet as it seams
Look at the way they're takin freedom away
Give you the illusion of freedom just to keep you at bay
And you can't even see it though it's so close to home
If they can control the mob than they can control Rome

Music kept playing when the smoke went up, fiberglass Newports and a styrofoam cup
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning
Music kept playing when the smoke went up, no pad no pen just a styrofoam cup
Everybody kept dancin rome was burnin the world just kept on turning
