Caesar - Iggy Pop

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 banquet 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!

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, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

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!

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, 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, ha!

(Uh, we got there, right? Okay, good. If I call for more numbers like that on

the rec, I’ll pick this record piece, yeah, all we got that.)
