Iggy Pop - Caesar lyrics

people of america

i bring you a great army

to preserve peace

in our empire

throw them to the lions

darling, let us go to the banouet hall...

there will be a great feast tonight!

who are these christians?

what is this strange religion?

i' ve heard it said they turn the other cheek

ha ha ha ha

throw them to the lions

throw them to the lions

throw them to the lions

thumbs down

10 pieces of gold for every man

hail caesar hail caesar

grapes from sicily

silks from asia minor

all the tea in china

throw them to the lions

throw them to the lions

throw them to the lions

who are these christians?

turn the other cheek...

ha ha ha ha ha

two thumbs down

the christians are restless

why not let them worship their god?

no one believes in the old gods

how tiresome...attending the rituals

paying lip service to the portents

burning incense at their shrine

no one believes in the old gods

throw them to the lions

throw them to the lions

throw them to the lions

hahahahahaha

the roman empire the glory of rome

hail all hail

caesar...caesar...beware beware the ides of march

who is this man?

caesar...he is but a soothsayer...he is old

and his brain is addled... pay him no mind!

throw him to the lions! ha ha ha ha ha ha

hail caesar! emperor of rome hail caesar!

caesar...caesar...beware the ides of march

eh?! who is this man?

caesar...he is but an old soothsayer...addled in his brain

pay him no mind

throw him to the lions! ha ha ha ha

throw him to the lions!

no one believes in the old gods...

the empire is tired...caesar will rest now.

we depart for my chambers

come darling

"yes caesar"

caesar will rest now

hail rome hail caesar hail

put him in the fiery pit

ha ha ha ha!
