lyrics

You know you've got it bad
When your neck looks rather fetching
Inside the frame of a guillotine
The declaration of disease
Brought a city to its knees
In a scene befitting of your dream

The people who surround you, are they fawning?
Now see there all peripheries, are they yawning?
Now see them on their bellies now for you crawling
You are not a drone who is 9 to 5
So what did you expect from the Ides of March?

The visceral urge to madden
Juxtaposed with the charm of Basil Brush is unnerving
Much like the smile with the scythe
And the one thing we've deduced is that you're a creature of habit
In that you're always wrecking other people's lives

The people who surround you, are they fawning?
Now see there all peripheries, are they yawning?
Now see them on their bellies now for you crawling
You are not a drone who is 9 to 5
So what did you expect from the Ides of March?

It's so sad to see you go
Well you had sufficient time to know
Well maybe you did, but it just didn't show
Your dreams are flat and a pack of lies
So what did you expect from the Ides of March
Well now it doesn't make any difference
For you my friend are sleeping with the fishes
Your murder at the hands of friends scorned and vicious
Who buried your bones in an unmarked grave
So what did you learn from the Ides of March?
