I remember a place - looking like home - without the waste
Only the pride - time can't erase - keeps it alive
All the people remain - people like you - going insane
Such a hard life - oh, what a shame - to swallow your pride
If I found Rome today - would it be the same?
If I found Rome this way
Would it fall apart or would I be amazed?
Now you lay there in bed - running your hand - over your head
Whatever you need - is not what you get - down on your knee
All supply or demand - into your mouth - out of your hand
Is this what you want? - all you can stand - turning you on
Stimulation at best - only requires - signing a check
Why should you stray - off from the rest - what would it change
