about

i think this might be one of the best songs i've ever written. it plays really big live anyway, and it means a lot to me politically. cg

lyrics

when in rome chris gerolmo (c) 2012


when in rome am
lie like a bastard dm
smile at your master f
steal from his home em
when in rome am
swindle your brothers dm
con all the others f
when in rome am

when in rome am
send the children to war dm
but send only the poor f
and never your own em
when in rome am
you can lie about why dm
cause we’re willing to die f
when in rome am

when in rome dm
no one’s a sinner am
when in rome dm
it’s conscience that’s blind am
when in rome dm
there’s just losers and winners am
when in rome f
there’s no soul left behind em

(break verse chords)

when in rome dm
no one’s a sinner am
when in rome dm
it’s conscience that’s blind am
when in rome dm
there’s just losers and winners am
when in rome f
there’s no soul left behind em

when in rome am
and the world is on fire dm
let’s just add to the pyre f
and go off to get stoned em
when in rome am
it’s too late for learning dm
when everything’s burning f
when in rome am

(playout verse chords)
