rome wasn't burned in a day

Never see it coming if it's not on the TV
Even if it's been laid out there plain for you and me
The case for fear is set and the panic setting in
So check your freedoms at the door before we let you in

It's either war, the plague, or the economy
The media's whipped us into a frenzy
See the system crumble from the sidelines watch it burn
The fear has sparked the fire and the mob will never learn

A nation on the decline
The slippery slope is an amusement ride
The match is lit, the masses sway
Rome wasn't burned in a day

The madness getting there, the troops are on the ground
The brainwashed minds are everywhere, just stop and look around
No uniforms, no guns, just the cameras spreading lies
There is no truth but what you see, just open up your eyes

The facts are pixelated and the figures start to fade
The fire is burning hotter and the media's getting paid
The radio is garbage and the TV's spewing trash
The culture is destroyed and the system's gonna crash

A nation on the decline
The slippery slope is an amusement ride
The match is lit, the masses sway
Rome wasn't burned in a day

No war
No murder
No destruction
No story
No war
No murder
No destruction
No story
No war
No murder
No destruction
No lies!
