The Square Coliseum Lyrics

The square coliseum
Sprayed clean every morning
Instrumental violence
Washed in the blood of the lamb

Fields of visions
Forced perspective
Changes views
Channel force

Roma de travertino
Refatta de cartone
Cinema Mondo Cane
Teatro de cartone

Cardboard cutouts
Set the stage

Exploitation's
Golden age

Modern Deus-Machina
Cue the crowd's eye roll
Hard hearts demanding something
Worthy to extoll

Capitalism's tricks
Old pranks the rich have played
Patriotism's sick
To rest it must be laid

New mass-amphetamines needed for control
As temples of the silver screen's candles cease to glow

Instrumental violence
Proclamations bellow

Precariat
Sans-Cullote
Citizens all

Of the square coliseum

Washed in the cream
Of the blood of the lamb
In the square coliseum
