Rome

[Verse 1] Ice Age or a heat wave Earthquake or a plague Terrorism or class warfare Or the end of days I asked mama, but she didn’t know Dad just shook his head Put a couple ice cubes in his whiskey, sipped it, and went to bed Can I just pray to God To give me those Vegas odds I ask on behalf of a friend Should I buy my folks a round Or dig my cash in the ground I’m starting to think it’s the end [Hook] I know, I know we’ll live for a thousand years What’s in your crystal ball Tell me, tell me oh where do we go from here Rome is too big to fall [Verse 2] Other night I was riding on a C train Packed car, bad mood, when this peabrain Drunk-ass slicked back hair, having, leather-jacket wearing ass Roger Klotz type o' grease stain Dude stumbles through the train mad rude shoving a finger in our grills with this attitude Yelling "fuck you, fuck you, fuck every one of you Yeah, yeah that means fuck you too" So when the train pulls in the next station This one big ass hardcore bouncer kinda Teamster kinda Paul Bunyon kinda motherfucker shoves a fool out the car door Throws a haymaker, hits him in the chin The whole train cheers the win We’re all high-fiving, feeling excellent Having extra fun like we’re next of kin Save all your Kumbayas Don’t take this shit too far You don’t make no friends on no New York subway car How come when we gotta come together We wait until we got someone that we can all come together to hate And then for like the hottest minute we set our shit aside and relate? And then forget again [Hook] I know, I know we’ll live for a thousand years What’s in your crystal ball Tell me, tell me oh where do we go from here Rome is too big to fall [Verse 3] Nobody wants to die so nobody thinks of it What if at the blink of an eye we be at the brink of it We tend to be blind when we’re right up in the thick of it We got this life to live and it’s at our fingertips I’m taking my time and trying to be making the most of it Let’s open a wine bottle and we can all toast a bit And I never get light when I’m drunk So fuck all the poser shit I’m tapping a vein, craving the truth, give me another dose of it I’m not digging for danger but I decided that I won’t be taking time for my day for denying how I was made or fighting my human nature I’m only looking to savor the ride I’ve paid for my pride Back when I would cry, cry, cry Spending my life wondering why, why, why Taking the view soon I know it’s all gonna fly right by I will not go out like that We won’t go out like that We won’t go out like that We won’t go out like (won’t go out like) We won’t go out like that
