jam mechanics - francesco (demo) lyrics

francesco is the mayor of a city by the shore, it’s
on the southern tip of italy, known for tuna fish and tourists
he books a meeting, sends an email, poses for the local papers
one more email, has that meeting, off to dinner with his neighbors
that’s francesco

francesco, he was named after a saint called padre pio
who reportedly fought demons, claimed he parlato con dio
he says a prayer, goes to mass, and poses with a little wafer
one more prayer, one more sip of wine, then pranzo with his nеighbors
that’s francesco

and though he’s not producing miracles or guiding wayward spirits homе
i wonder if francesco thinks about it
yeah, i wonder if francesco thinks about it

but in march of 241 bc, the romans and phoenician fleets
began a battle in the sea just off the coast of sicily
so many bodies on the beach, they turned it red, now theirs to keep
they built a tower on the hill, passed back and forth through history
the romans and aragonese, the normans and the genoese
but now it’s ruled by angelo who runs the gift shop at its feet

and i think about that abandoned fort
and the bodies stacked on that bl++dy shore
how long it took to clear the port
two thousand years of tug of war
now long after the fall of rome
an office chair usurps the throne
a modern mayor scrawls his name on
permits for a loading zone
it hasn’t always been this way
it hasn’t always been this way
and i wonder if francesco thinks about it
yeah, i wonder if francesco thinks about it
