Текст песни: This Is Rome, and We Are... + перевод

Here we are, who’s payed attention?

The pop culture politics, the buzzwords of recession

I wanna know, wanna know, do you believe them?

I heard there was something on the streets

In Rekjavic and Riga and in Athens and Nairobi

That I didn’t see here. well what should I expect?

The self obsessed, we are the ones content

With the wool pulled over our eyes

And we’re wondering why

We can’t tell the smoke from the sky

So it passed, that fair-weather activists

And armchair revolutions were proved irrelevant

What we didn’t grasp

The closeness, the permanence, the failure

And all in all it was so typically American

We sat out global revolt

And watched the video on the internet

The feedback, the images, obscured and second hand

They’re the wool pulled over our eyes

This house of cards is getting close the wind

Blissfully impotent, so long as you pretend

It’s a pitiful place until you understand

This is Rome and we are Romans
