First Punk Wars by Iron Curtain Lyrics
In the cities
All the workers were slaves
In industry
Men worked with simple tools
The ruling classes
Had time and money for art
Wealthy families
Sent their sons to university
In the first punk wars
The army ceased to be protection
Old religion
Could no longer guide
The decay
Of classical civilization
As the planets moved across the sky
In the first punk wars
The roman tacitus
Denounced corruption
Dark and bloody
The picture that he draws
Of manly virtue
Barbarians at the frontier
Immorality
Of romans steeped in vice
In the first punk wars
All the workers were slaves
In industry
Men worked with simple tools
The ruling classes
Had time and money for art
Wealthy families
Sent their sons to university
In the first punk wars
The army ceased to be protection
Old religion
Could no longer guide
The decay
Of classical civilization
As the planets moved across the sky
In the first punk wars
The roman tacitus
Denounced corruption
Dark and bloody
The picture that he draws
Of manly virtue
Barbarians at the frontier
Immorality
Of romans steeped in vice
In the first punk wars
