about

Taking inspiration from artists like the Clash and Neil Young, “Ghost of Rome” is a snide, political rocker that takes aim at the corruption of the current American political and legal systems and the erosion of American civil institutions and liberties in the name of good old Capitalism.

lyrics

Do as I say, not as I do
I’m not here to care about you
The things I abide I don’t question why
It all depends - What’s my end?

You see there is no truth
It’s just a tool that you can use for you
I thought you knew
Saw the wink and got the cue
That we got nothing to lose!

This Gilded Age
See it rage, like a real wild fire
Scorching the earth
With the glee of a holy choir

You thought the outrage would dissuade
Ha! That’s how the money gets made
So once again we’ll draw the shades
And evade the blame - c’mon!

This Gilded Age
See it rage, like a real wild fire
Scorching the earth
With the glee of a holy choir

Time and time again
we’ve been shown…
Time and time again
we’ve been shown…
We’re another ghost of Rome

This Gilded Age
See it rage, like a real wild fire
Scorching the earth
With the glee of a holy choir
