Son Volt – While Rome Burns lyrics
Mountains of money
Men dressed up as news
And we fiddle while Rome burns
They're pissing away
What others died to create
We fiddle while Rome burns
Like Orwell's doublespeak
They're taking their cues
And we fiddle while Rome burns

The Interstates connect more than divide
Free will can only survive

Time to face the music
Time to make the fur fly
We fiddle while Rome burns
Too clever by half
They play the short game
And we fiddle while Rome burns
No turning back the clock
There must be hope in this hell
We fiddle while Rome burns

And the Freeways lead to the gravel roads
To the town squares and the rodeos

While Rome burns
Why Rome burns
While Rome burns
Why Rome burns
