about

Over a decade ago I wrote a song called "Outstanding Statesman," comparing modern America to crumbling Rome. This song is kind of a sequel or a response or something.

lyrics

Well I've said I want to move away
And you say that everywhere's the same
But despite everything I know
I would like to end up anywhere but home

We woke up from the American dream
To discover we live in a Ponzi scheme
I once sang about empire's collapse
But it's billionaires and assholes playing craps

It's a fucking casino, it's not Rome
It's a fucking casino, it's not Rome
It's a fucking casino, it's not Rome
I live in Caesar's Palace

By the virtue of the place that you were born
You're allowed to pick the members of the board
Say a prayer while you're down there on your knees
You can have some scraps if you say pretty please

It's a fucking casino, it's not Rome
It's a fucking casino, it's not Rome
It's a fucking casino, it's not Rome
I live in Caesar's Palace
