What The Romans Did For Us

What the Romans did for us. Please tell me what did the Roman’s do for us?
Adam Hart Davis thinks they’re bloody great,
Because he ignores the suffering, censorship and hate.

In AD 43, invasion of authority
Imperial destruction of a local way of life.
Keep your buildings made of concrete, and hobnailed, sandaled feet
Out of our country, keep your hands off our wives!

They burned our community, sold us into slavery,
Gave us new technology in how to kill each other.
They stamped out our faith, and our religious places
And made us all pay tribute to a foreign dictator.
The nail in the coffin on what they did for us,
Is that after they’d left we went back to how it was.

Adam Hart Davis thinks they’re bloody great,
Because he ignores the suffering, censorship and hate.
Adam Hart Davis thinks they’re bloody great,
I don’t care get the hell out of my face.
