World without sound, can't you keep the noise down?   'Else you gonna make the baby cry   Over split blood heavens anyone would   Think you had an Axe to grind      Baby, look out here come the Romans   With their steely gaze they're climbing on your sofa   Cheap veneers and a swinging brisk for a heart   Forked tongues same song we're tired and we wanna go home      Hide the swag bag, quick before the tongues wag   Cross your heart and claim a noble cause   Quote the scriptures, paint your pretty pictures   Fleece them with your filthy paws      Baby, look out here come the Romans   With their steely gaze they're climbing on your sofa   Cheap veneers and a swinging brisk for a heart   Forked tongues same song we're tired and we wanna go home      Bad news spread fast and they're spreading   They're spreading like a chip pan fire   We must confess, we ain't progressed   Since Elvis has left the building a mess      World without sound can't you keep the noise down   'Else you gonna make the baby cry   Over split blood, heavens anyone would   Think you had an Axe to grind      Baby, look out here come the Romans   With their steely gaze they're climbing on your sofa   Cheap veneers and a swinging brisk for a heart   Forked tongues same song we're tired and we wanna go home
