All things pass, empires fall
Once they ruled the world, were the strongest of all

Like the Romans in Jerusalem
The Romans in Jerusalem

Uniforms change the weapons too

The fact remains there is nothin' new
It's still the Romans in Jerusalem

The new Romans in Jerusalem

And everybody knows what happened to them

The Romans in Jerusalem

America's freedom is supposed to be here
So what in the world are we doing everywhere
Like the Roman's in Jerusalem
The new Roman's in Jerusalem

The fires are ragin' the irons are hot
It doesn't look good, it's lookin' a lot like

The Roman's in Jerusalem

The new Romans in Jerusalem
And everybody knows what happened to them

To the Romans in Jerusalem

Horrors in the holy land
Blood on the burnin' sand

From Baghdad to Bethlehem
There's nothing but mayhem
It's getting out of hand
No reason to pretend

These wounds are ever gonna mend

With the Roman's in Jerusalem

And everyone knows what happened to them

To the Romans in Jerusalem

The Romans in Jerusalem

Umm, umm, umm

The Romans in Jerusalem
Look what became of them
 

Umm, umm, umm

The Romans in Jerusalem
Look what became of them

The Romans in Jerusalem

Umm, umm, umm

It Is What It Is
