Story behind the song
A song about corruption
Lyrics
It was in the garden, temptation on the vine Sugar on the tree that makes the sweetest wine The snake slithered under Eve, in his pinstripe suit and said, won’t you see it my way, for a taste of fruit? For all the angels dancing, on the head of this pin There’s serpents there to bribe them in original sin Strike the root, where the withered meets the rot Strike the root, where the kettle buys the pot Strike the root, mammon is the grease Strike the root, that brings us to our knees It was by the Tiber, where Caesar came across Rome still has a senate, but will it when I cross? Follow the denarius, it always leads the way You don’t still think that Caesar is Emperor today? For all the legions fighting in war after war The serpent is the prefect who always gives you more Strike the root, where the withered meets the rot Strike the root, where the kettle buys the pot Strike the root, mammon is the grease Strike the root, that brings us to our knees
