trouble | Because not everything in the world is the end of the world

Okay, every time I try to embed this something happens and it fails, woe.

YouTube video: Viva Roman No. V., set to the tune of Mambo #5. It is everything something with that name could possibly be! (Also, it's subtitled.)

Ladies and Gentleman of the known world, this is Viva Roman Number V.

I, II, III, IV, V
Roman legion's at your door and you can't hide
From the new society and culture
Assimilate everything you got like a hungry vulture

They loved anything that's Greek
They used concrete,
Built it wide and deep
They made bridges, highways, statues so real
In every detail
Not like the Greek ideal
You know, when they built
They used arch, vault and dome
To build it big
'Cause big is Rome
Roman Law, Code of Justice
You can trust it's the Age of Augustus
Some poetry by Virgil, that's what he did
His famous poem called the Aeneid
A little bit of duty was the theme
And faithfulness to Rome, that was his dream
Another poet, Horace, his friend indeed
He wrote of human weakness and greed
Historian Livy he did debut
His History of Rome, but it's not all true.

The Roman gods
You know they gave a nod to the Greeks
'Cause the names were the only things that changed
An emeperor could be divine
Have his own temple and his own shrine
If you were a slave
You had to behave
And you don't start a fuss
Like that pesky Spartacus
The third and second centuries B.C.
They showed their egineering expertise
They liked to wear a toga and a cloak
Appropriated from Etruscan folk
The aqueducts with running waters gush
They citizens to the arenas rush
To find a little respite from the stress
Only concerned with "Bread and Circuses"

The paterfamilias he was boss
His children's education, he paid the cost
His daughters he guarded just liek a hound
Until they were 14 and husbands found
The wealthy lived in villas having fun
Out in the countryside, under the sun
The poor resided crammed under one roof
In insulae that were not fireproof
Caput mundi
Senate run byt he bourgeoisie

Government, law, and the Roman way
Still impacts our lives today
