Shall Rome stand in awe, be lost before the law Beneath a man who, on his own, can barely stand? Shall Rome be weak with feeble, frail physique With dainty Caesar and that wife at first command? I am a typical man, but I cannot deny That many Romans seem to feel the same way Wake up, Brutus, shall Rome die in sleep? Brutus, you must think of us, in you our faith is placed Shall Rome be trashed with litter used to light the fire That keeps someone like Caesar fueled to lead? Shall Rome be enchained, afraid to use our brains? Sheep in danger of a wolf about to feed? I am a typical man, who am I to stand by While all my friends are fooled by Caesar's old show? Wake up, Brutus, we're taking a blow Brutus, look inside, you'll find what you already know And in addition I'll go on if you give me permission How does someone so delicate, dimwitted And lackadaisical land his position? With no opposition, his ego's inflated Admit it, he's so overrated Our great Republic is lame because of him Honestly, Brutus, I hate it (Give it a shot) I hate how he dresses (Yes) and goes on about all his successes He's excessive, yet unimpressive He'll go on forever unless What do you suggest? Uh, assassination? You passed my test (give us a summation) Brutus, your participation is key Bring honor to Rome, bring honor to me Caesar's a threat, a fool could see As long as he lives, I'll never be free Bring back the Old Republic The Rome I fell in love with Join us, the hour draws nearer (yeah) Tyranny dies with Caesar Bring back the old Republic (bring it back, bring it back) The Rome I fell in love with Join us, the hour draws nearer Tyranny dies with Caesar (a little louder, it dies) Bring back the old Republic (it dies, it dies) The Rome I fell in love with (it dies, it dies) Join us, the hour draws nearer Tyranny dies with Caesar (it dies, it dies) It dies with Caesar, dies with Caesar It dies, it dies Shall Rome become an empire? Is that what you desire, Brutus? Listen in to freedom's final ring Shall Rome crash and burn? I'd rather have more civil war Than witness Caesar claiming he's a king (I am a typical man) what makes us different? (And there are plentiful more) what makes me so different? (Who wonder) how is his name greater than mine? Wake up, Brutus, the die has been cast Caesar can't be king for life Sharpen up and bring your knife And make this day his last
