Bread And Circus

Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
 Long ago we all traded, regretfully abdicated
 Our voice and our light
 Self-sovereignty
 Charge our command and means
 Trade it all for bread and circus
 Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
 The pawns and powers that be
 Play checkers, chess and monopoly
 (The pawns and powers that be play checkers)
 For keeps, for lifе, for all
 To the death, for our servility
 Acquiеscent and idling
 Predestinated circling
 Romulus and Remus paradox
 Trade it all for nothing more than
 Concessions, fireworks
 Pageantry and glitter
 Gladiators and jesters, just entertainers
 Bread and circus
 Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
 Acquiescent and idling
 Predestinated circling
 Here we are in the middle of our existential reckoning
 Acquiescent and idling
 Predestinated circling
