MANCUSO

Well, today it could have been,
at last, your lucky day
a brave man alone
fighting misdeed
But it´s not like you dreamed
you wish you´d stayed in your bed

In the precinct this morning
it could be cut the atmosphere
the orders from above:
"to nip any undesirable trend"
But it´s not like you dreamed
you wish you hand¨t got out of bed

And all these people
surrounding you
Shouting you´re scum
and that the shame is on you
You feel almost like a rat
Who the hell is gonna take you out?

You remember the time
when there were no doubts
of old fashion movies,
a world in black and white
But it´s not like you dreamed
you wish you´d stayed in your bed

All the ancient empires
had to fight against their own
convictions and people
for glory and gold
But it´s not like you dreamed
you wish you hand¨t got out of bed

And in your mind you know
these people could be right
But you are not one of them
You feel like a rat

And in your mind it sounds
the echos of the past
remembering these old words that say:
Rome don´t pay rats
