	Story Behind the Song Inspired by the Roman expression which losely translated means: Offerings, such as benefits or entertainments, intended to placate discontent or distract attention from a policy or situation, I felt it was the perfect metaphor to describe how we are manipulated by the media. Lyrics They start at them when they're still too young to understand. Subtly convincing them into television land. Where all anyone needs are white teeth and a grin. They don't know any better; They'll be taken in. At night in their dreams the programming begins. As the tape is rewound, then played back again. Electromagnetic waves used to brainwash and tease. Just look in their eyes - they've caught the disease. Bread and circus - Sit back and enjoy the show. Bread and circus - Latch on to the video. Bread and circus - Will you be satisfied? Bread and circus - Asleep at the wheel while they eat you alive. Your learning to be satisfied, encouraged not to dream. Thinking only of yourselves as players in a scene. You'll eat what they throw you and never complain. You're a pawn in their plan - and there you'll remain. Bread and circus - Sit back and enjoy the show. Bread and circus - Latch on to the video. Bread and circus - Will you be satisfied? Bread and circus - Asleep at the wheel while they eat you alive.
