Bread and Circuses Songtext
von Tomorrow’s Eve
Bread and Circuses Songtext
There was man (that) couldn′t stand anymore
Too heavy to walk and too big for his door
He broke some records in world history
While feeling a victim of society
There was man (that) couldn't stand anymore
Too weak to walk and his house had no door
He is slowly starving like his neighbors before
He′s just a victim of society
There was a time we had a chance
A chance for a change
But we've been too blind to separate
To tell right from wrong
There was a girl who just won every prize
She is a beauty, a queen in her eyes
Her mother is proud and she's loved by the jury,
Wears barely nothing but make-up and jewelry
There was a girl who just stood up and spoke
She fought for her rights to be free and to talk
Her father then led her in front of the judges
They stoned her to death while her family watches
We′ve been too blind to seperate
And to tell right from wrong
We were full of fear that turned to hate
Is this is our fate?
Is it too late?
Too late for a change?
There was a world that we dreamt of and hoped for
There was a dream that was once worth to fight for
But we are blinded by playful distractions
Again we are trapped between the bread and the circuses
We′ve been too blind to seperate
And to tell right from wrong
We were full of fear that turned to hate
Is this is our fate?
Is it too late?
Too late for a change?
Too heavy to walk and too big for his door
He broke some records in world history
While feeling a victim of society
There was man (that) couldn't stand anymore
Too weak to walk and his house had no door
He is slowly starving like his neighbors before
He′s just a victim of society
There was a time we had a chance
A chance for a change
But we've been too blind to separate
To tell right from wrong
There was a girl who just won every prize
She is a beauty, a queen in her eyes
Her mother is proud and she's loved by the jury,
Wears barely nothing but make-up and jewelry
There was a girl who just stood up and spoke
She fought for her rights to be free and to talk
Her father then led her in front of the judges
They stoned her to death while her family watches
We′ve been too blind to seperate
And to tell right from wrong
We were full of fear that turned to hate
Is this is our fate?
Is it too late?
Too late for a change?
There was a world that we dreamt of and hoped for
There was a dream that was once worth to fight for
But we are blinded by playful distractions
Again we are trapped between the bread and the circuses
We′ve been too blind to seperate
And to tell right from wrong
We were full of fear that turned to hate
Is this is our fate?
Is it too late?
Too late for a change?
