Anaïs Mitchell - The Song They Sang When Rome Fell lyrics

Bring it on I'll be waiting with my baby and the curtains drawn No evening news Just our bodies and a record playing Delta blues But he got a smile as wide as the road to hell Wide as the road we're on And he wrote the song they sang when Rome fell It goes, Put on your rock and roll shoes and come on Yeah, come on Did we know In our house on fire with all we own What it is that makes a house a home And in the end Did we watch it all on CNN What it is to be American Cause we got the champagne and the gasoline We got everything to lose And if we can't say our hands are clean Can we die in our dancing shoes Our dancing shoes Rock me roll me till we're sober Best you can, best you can And I probably won't fell a thing Gonna put the stereo as loud as we can make it go And then turn the record over Over and over again Bring it on I'll be waiting with my baby and the curtains drawn No evening news Just our bodies and a record playing Delta blues
