Puscifer - Bread and Circus lyrics

Here we are in the middle
Of our existential reckoning
Long ago we all traded, regretfully abdicated
Our voice and our light self-sovereignty
Charge our command and means
Trade it all for bread and circus

Here we are in the middle
Of our existential reckoning

The pawns and powers that be
Play checkers, chess and monopoly
(The pawns and powers that
Be play checkers, chеss, and)
For keeps, for life, for all
To the death, for our sеrvility

Acquiescent and idling
Predestinated circling
Romulus and Remus paradox
Trade it all for nothing more than

Concessions, fireworks pageantry and glitter
Gladiators and jesters, just entertainers
Bread and circus

Here we are in the middle
Of our existential reckoning
Acquiescent and idling
Predestinated circling
Here we are in the middle
Of our existential reckoning
Acquiescent and idling
Predestinated circling
