theo katzman & 10 good songs - rome wasn't built in a day lyrics

[verse]
early morning, late last night
lit by cold blue cellphone light
i woke up from the strangest dream
could’ve sworn, a ghost i’d seen

an english man on horseback said
they’re rolling out the printing press
the time has come
once in a millennium

[chorus]
singing “rome wasn’t built in a day”
that’s what everybody loves to say
but i wanna know how long
did it take to fall down?

[verse]
i could not believe my eyes
front page of the new york times
sitting right there in plain sight
where the worst things go to hide

no one seemed to notice, though
stuck inside the doomsday scroll
and no one even batted an eye
two plus two equals five
[chorus]
no, “rome wasn’t built in a day”
that’s what everybody loves to say
but i wanna know how long
did it take to fall down?

to fall down
oh woah woah
yeah

[bridge]
while they were lighting the gas
we were l!cking the toad
rolling around in the grass
on the side of the road
watching the iceberg approach
having a dance on the deck
savoring every note
from the string quartet
and when the story broke
the greatest minds that i know
i got my head out my ass
i got my ass on the road
i’ll keep my big mouth shut
follow the leader in stride
he’s always had my best interest in mind
[chorus]
“rome wasn’t built in a day”
that’s what everybody loves to say
yeah
but i wanna know how long
did it take to fall down?
i wanna know long
did it take to fall down?

yeah yeah
to fall down
yeah yeah yeah
