Aloud - Nero lyrics

Rinse, repeat, water it down These boring beats are all around Play it on the radio until you play it out some more Advertise out on the air Sanitize the public square Squeak it till it's squeaky clean and make it kinda Sore inside Rock n' roll prophets going down with the ship Taken from us like the warmth of the sun Swiveling their truths like they've been Swiveling their hips An honest life's work is never truly done Never truly done Never truly A programmed television Personality revision Will tell me facts and figures that will contradict the last thing said A witchhunt or inquisition can be Disguised as patriotism To undermine the audience and Shear the fleece of men We need a leader or a superhero Not a zero acting like he's Nero But we can never get high if we ain't ever been low And like the pa**ing of time, this too shall go Goodbye, Nero Tantalize from head to toe at the crib of Nero They play the lyre while the city burns
