Shall Rome stand in awe, be lost before the law
Beneath a man who, on his own, can barely stand?
Shall Rome be weak with feeble, frail physique
With dainty Caesar and that wife at first command?

I am a typical man, but I cannot deny
That many Romans seem to feel the same way
Wake up, Brutus, shall Rome die in sleep?
Brutus, you must think of us, in you our faith is placed

Shall Rome be trashed with litter used to light the fire
That keeps someone like Caesar fueled to lead?
Shall Rome be enchained, afraid to use our brains?
Sheep in danger of a wolf about to feed?

I am a typical man, who am I to stand by
While all my friends are fooled by Caesar's old show?
Wake up, Brutus, we're taking a blow
Brutus, look inside, you'll find what you already know

And in addition
I'll go on if you give me permission
How does someone so delicate, dimwitted
And lackadaisical land his position?

With no opposition, his ego's inflated
Admit it, he's so overrated
Our great Republic is lame because of him
Honestly, Brutus, I hate it

(Give it a shot) I hate how he dresses
(Yes) and goes on about all his successes
He's excessive, yet unimpressive
He'll go on forever unless
What do you suggest? Uh, assassination?

You passed my test (give us a summation)
Brutus, your participation is key
Bring honor to Rome, bring honor to me
Caesar's a threat, a fool could see
As long as he lives, I'll never be free

Bring back the Old Republic
The Rome I fell in love with
Join us, the hour draws nearer (yeah)
Tyranny dies with Caesar

Bring back the old Republic (bring it back, bring it back)
The Rome I fell in love with
Join us, the hour draws nearer
Tyranny dies with Caesar (a little louder, it dies)

Bring back the old Republic (it dies, it dies)
The Rome I fell in love with (it dies, it dies)
Join us, the hour draws nearer
Tyranny dies with Caesar (it dies, it dies)
It dies with Caesar, dies with Caesar
It dies, it dies

Shall Rome become an empire?
Is that what you desire, Brutus?
Listen in to freedom's final ring
Shall Rome crash and burn?
I'd rather have more civil war
Than witness Caesar claiming he's a king

(I am a typical man) what makes us different?
(And there are plentiful more) what makes me so different?
(Who wonder) how is his name greater than mine?
Wake up, Brutus, the die has been cast

Caesar can't be king for life
Sharpen up and bring your knife
And make this day his last
