lyrics

Pan y Circo (lyrics: M. Perna)

All eyes on the tv
Mesmerized by the games we see
Caught up in fanaticism
A New kind of tribalism

Cause there’s so much money to be
Million dollar salaries to be paid
So much hype and merchandise
Just a piece of humble advice

This is how the ancient Romans controlled the population
Too obsessed with sports
to think about liberation

It’s the same old trick,
In a different time
History repeats itself
And we remain blind to the

Pan y, circo
Bread and circuses, Bread and circuses
Pan y, circo
Bread and circuses, Bread and circuses

The Stadium we had was no good
Built the new one on top of my neighborhood
We teach our kids that violence is the norm
As long as they wear a uniform

Athletes above the law,
I guess these gladiators don’t need know right from wrong
Olympic games smothered in logos
Just another tradition left with no soul

And this is how the ancient Romans
controlled the population
Too obsessed with sports
to think about liberation

The same old tricks,
In a different time,
History repeats itself,
And we remain blind to the...

Pan y, circo
Bread and circuses, Bread and circuses
Pan y, circo
Bread and circuses, Bread and circuses
