Et Tu Brúte

You look all around as the world tries to spin round.
You see all the cheats and liars working so hard all over town.
You want to believe you can trust your best friends.
 
As the knife is so carefully hidden right up to the end,
Wasn’t it Caesar Julius who said Et Tu Brúte?
His supposed best friend right up to the end
Now I say to you, Et Tu Brúte
As the knife starts to appear and you’re all smiles and crocodile tears.
 
 
Well I guess it’s just the way of the world, the way they like to deal
Where your word means nothing and the lawyers take care of all the small details.
Integrity valor and honor, yeah it’s so passé
Gossip and cheap shots are now all the rage
 
 
Was it Julius Caesar who cried Et Tu Brúte?
His alleged best friend right up to the end.
Now I say to you Et Tu Brúte?
As the whole of the knife now appears
whatever happened to that phony smile and all your crocodile tears?
 
 
“Well I don’t know and I don’t care is all you had to say
Just show me the money and power, it’s time for you to pay.”
And now since I’ve been gone so long,
It’s so ironic to listen to you say to your
First and best Lieutenant, “Oh my God, Et Tu Brúte?”
 
 
Oh yeah Et Tu Brúte, that was the last words you had to say.
Et Tu Brúte, that’s the usual famous last words in this kind of world today.
Et Tu Brúte?
