I remember a place — looking like home — without the waste
Only the pride — time can’t erase — keeps it alive
All the people remain — people like you — going insane
Such a hard life — oh, what a shame — to swallow your pride
CHORUS:
If I found Rome today — would it be the same?
If I found Rome this way
Would it fall apart or would I be amazed?
Now you lay there in bed — running your hand — over your head
Whatever you need — is not what you get — down on your knee
All supply and demand — into your mouth — out of your hand
Is this what you want? — all you can stand — turning you on
CHORUS
Stimulation at best — only requires — signing a check
Why should you stray — off from the rest — what would it change?
CHORUS
