The Square Coliseum
The square coliseum
Sprayed clean every morning
Instrumental violence
Washed in the blood of the lamb
Fields of visions
Forced perspective
Changes views
Channel force
Roma de travertino
Refatta de cartone
Cinema Mondo Cane
Teatro de cartone
Cardboard cut-outs
set the stage
Exploitation's
Golden age
Modern Deus-Machina
Cue the crowd's eyeroll
Hard hearts demanding something
worthy to extoll
Capitalism's tricks
Old pranks the rich have played
Patriotism's sick
To rest it must be laid
New mass-amphetamines
needed for control
As Temples of the Silver Screen's
candles cease to glow
Instrumental violence
Proclamations bellow
Precariat
Sans-Cullote
Citizens all
of the Square Coliseum
Washed in the cream
of the blood of the lamb
In the Square Coliseum
