A long, long time ago, I can still remember that there was a place called Rome;
It was probably started by Aeneas, or maybe Romulus and Remus
But i know that people called this place their home.
But things went wrong with Sextus Tarquin,
He raped Lucretia and Brutus stopped him;
But up his sleeve, Brutus had a new trick;
He went on to start the Republic!
He formed these magistrate positions;
There were also plebeians and patricians.
But through all of these tough conditions,
There came, a place called Rome...
So my, my look at These Roman guys!
At the rate at which they’re going,
it seems like they’ll never die,
With Marius and Sulla and don’t Forget the Gracchi,
These Romans never seem to give up,
No, Romans will never give up...
Did you make the magistrates,
and did you put their duties in their place?
Oh, no you didn’t ‘cause Brutus did...
There were Quastors, Aediles, Praetors, and Consuls too,
They would help the Senate decide what to do,
In case they couldn’t do it on their own.
Each position had 1 year to do what they need;
Quastors were in charge of the treasury,
Aediles handled road repairs,
Praetors dealt with courtroom affairs;
Consuls had the best role in the Corus Honorum;
They had the power of Imperium!
They could execute or pardon people on their word,
In this place called Rome....
So my, my look at These Roman guys!
At the rate at which they’re going,
it seems like they’ll never die,
With Marius and Sulla and don’t Forget the Gracchi,
These Romans never seem to give up,
No, Romans will never give up...
Now, the Punic wars, yes, there were three;
Rome and Carthage fighting over sicily,
In the first of these three wars.
In the second, there was Scipio,
And Hannibal made a charge on Rome
Through the alps with his war elephants.
Rome cornered Carthage with Guerrilla warfare,
And Scipio started to prepare
For an attack straight on Carthage from Rome,
While Hannibal left to defend his home...
At the battle of Zama, Rome was the victor,
Rome strangled Carthage like a boa constrictor,
In the last punic war, Carthage was destroyed
By this place called Rome....
So my, my look at These Roman guys!
At the rate at which they’re going,
it seems like they’ll never die,
With Marius and Sulla and don’t Forget the Gracchi,
These Romans never seem to give up,
No, Romans will never give up...
The Gracchus brothers, there were 2,
They wanted to just end the feud,
About the land ownership of Rome...
Tiberius and Gaius were their names,
but Nasica of the optimates
Opposed their idea of a land reform...
And the law passed, and Optimates fumed,
And the Gracchi were certainly doomed,
They wanted Rome to move ahead...
Because of it they lost their heads!
Because the moment they would walk outside
The optimates ripped their limbs off and left them to die,
No one knows the reason why,
In this place called Rome
So my, my look at These Roman guys!
At the rate at which they’re going,
it seems like they’ll never die,
With Marius and Sulla and don’t Forget the Gracchi,
These Romans never seem to give up,
No, Romans will never give up...
