THE GREEN FLAMINGOS - ROME IS BURNING
We always change in size and shapeSo many faces we wear and fake
What do you see through the smoke and mirrors?
What can you see when we pull the trigger?
Now we speak in secret tongues
Rogue firewalls and data clouds
Flagless soldiers with no anthems
Departed shadows amongst the crowd
We keep running, non-stop buzzing
No one grasps what no one’s planning
We share the views, surf on the news
We don’t have a blazing clue
We play arty, we crash parties
Find it funny, we’re uncanny
While we mingle, while we’re fighting
While we fiddle, Rome is burning
Mimic your peers to emulate
A normal life and demonstrate
How you adapt in this rat race
And deep inside you know it’s fake
Here we are in the land of the free
For which we stand, ‘cause we believe
It our right to maintain solutions
It is alright to maintain illusions
We keep running, non-stop buzzing
No one grasps what no one’s planning
We share the views, surf on the news
We don’t have a blazing clue
We play arty, we crash parties
Find it funny, we’re uncanny
While we mingle, while we’re fighting
While we fiddle, Rome is burning
