Julius Caesar

Daddy's high every night
While he puts his children to bed
As they read, they escape from things that daily bring dread
And they like to read

About Julius Caesar and all of the laws that he made
And all the wars he waged
Against all the heroes in Gaul

Daddy's high
Every now and then
He doesn't know why he needs what he needs
But he needs it again and again
And he likes to read

About Julius Caesar and all of the love that he made
And all the pavement he laid
Heroes don't die though they fall

Daddy's high
So what if he likes to stare into space
That's when you do what you need to do to find your place
And I've always liked

To read about places and things
That make me forget who I am
Pretend I'm a modern man
I'm just doing the best that I can

Daddy's high enough to know
It doesn't take much to believe in the love that you need
When it's all around
Why don't you look and see what you've found?

Read about Julius Caesar
And all of the love that he made
Though his clemency soon was betrayed
I don't think that heroes are born, but they're made
Winners aren't born, but they're made
And I'm doing the best that I can
