Where are those cemeteries filled with centurions?
where are the legions we lost?

Only in America?

If we found them today
CSI would be all over it
they'd spirit them away
and put them on display
at the Smithsonian

Good luck is what I say
from the Egyptian rooms
at the
British Museum

Then they'll charge all the people
a dollar and a half just to see 'em
or was that for a big yellow taxi ride?

If you know you know and if you don't
know you're none the wiser
