Panem Et Circenses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People looking for the golden eggs
They believe they were born just to do that
And the gods are looking who's going up and who's down
We're supposed to live in this pretty show
We're puppets in their hands to roll
We have a right, in this land of ours
But the big shot have got them all
For us the garbage they throw out
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
Panem et circenses, that's enough for me
The joker gives us fun and games, while the king we can't see
All the gold you got gives you nothing, you have to be free
We must know the world, we must know our lives
And be free from these chains of puppets they hold us
Don't want tricky games, chains or gold
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
Panem et circenses, that's enough for me
People looking for the golden eggs
In the end they got all mad
Lives spent on the quest for material gold
And nothing about of the ethereal one
The gig goes on, the same old story
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
Panem et circenses, that's enough for me
