In The Colosseum |
The women all control their men |
With razors and with wrists |
And the princess squeezes grape juice |
From a torrid, bloody kiss |
What will you be wearing there |
The lion or the raven head? |
The flesh will all be tearing |
But the tale will be my own |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
This one’s for the balcony |
And this one’s for the floor |
As the senators decapitate |
The presidential whore |
The bald headed senators |
Are splashing in the blood |
The dogs are having someone |
Who is screaming in the mud |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
Now it’s raining and it’s pouring |
On the pillaging and goring |
The constable is swinging |
From the chains |
For the dead there is no story |
No memory, no blame |
Their families shout blue murder |
But tomorrow it’s the same |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum |
Call 'em as we see 'em |
In the colosseum tonight |
A slowly acting poison |
Will be given to the favorite one |
The dark horse will bring glory |
To the jailer and his men |
It’s always much more sporting |
When there’s families in the pit |
And the madness of the crowd |
Is an epileptic fit |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum |
We call 'em as we see 'em |
In the colosseum tonight |
No justice here, no liberty |
No reason, no blame |
There’s no cause to taint the sweetest taste of blood |
And greetings from the nation |
As we shake the hands of time |
They’re taking their ovation |
The vultures stay behind |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum tonight |
In the colosseum tonight |
