Infotainment-surveillance complex
Halo footage at the IMAX
Talking-head sideshow freaks
Drones doing stunts over our cities
Bread, Bread & Circuses
Globe of Death circuses
BRIDGE:
When they distract us with Bread & Circuses
they've got us on the shelf
That provides you plenty of time
to think about yourself
Self-self and no one else
In the land of honey and MILFs
A PBJ sandwich,
Someday you’ll be President as well as rich
Bread Bread & Circuses
Dog & Pony Show circuses
Why did Rome die?
Was it decadence, my oh my?!
Or military ventures into the sky,
while there’s sewage on your pizza pie?
Bread Bread & Circuses
Circus Maximus circuses
Fall from the trapeze,
Gladiators cut you off at the knees
BRIDGE:
They distract us with Bread & Circuses
A strategy unto itself
It satisfied your shallow requirements
In lieu of something else
Banks pumpernickel-and-dime you
Covenants oppress you like panini
HMOs roll you like a matzo ball
All those clowns in a Super Bowl electric car commercial:
How many m.p.g.’s, huh?
Does jumping through flaming fire
suppress your animal ire?
Or do you eye Siegfried and Roy
sometimes as if they’re ham on rye?
