Bread and Circus Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
Long ago we all traded, regretfully abdicated
Our voice and our light
Self-sovereignty
Charge our command and means
Trade it all for bread and circus
[Refrain]
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
[Verse 2]
The pawns and powers that be
Play checkers, chess and monopoly
(The pawns and powers that be play checkers, chеss, and—)
For keeps, for life, for all
To the death, for our sеrvility
[Bridge]
Acquiescent and idling
Predestinated circling
Romulus and Remus paradox
Trade it all for nothing more than
[Verse 3]
Concessions, fireworks
Pageantry and glitter
Gladiators and jesters, just entertainers
Bread and circus
[Chorus]
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
Acquiescent and idling
Predestinated circling
Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
Acquiescent and idling
Predestinated circling
