[Intro: brass fanfare over filtered disco groove] [Female vocal] He entered through the main doors With standards held on high A laurel crown, twelve bodyguards And thunder in his eye He crossed the velvet threshold Like returning home from war Then asked the club promoter Why no triumph crossed the floor He climbed behind the console And surveyed the room complete Then raised one hand toward heaven: [Male spoken] Citizens! I seize the beat. [Chorus] Julius seize the beat Veni, vidi, VIP Every dancer at his feet Julius seize the beat Raise the standards, clear the street Make the bassline bow to me Rome was never this complete Julius seize the beat [Post-Chorus: crowd chant] Hail! Hail! DJ for life! Hail! Hail! That seems unwise! [Verse 2] He renamed every cocktail After victories abroad Promoted one percussionist And made the drummer god He issued club decrees that All requests be sent through Rome Then changed the closing hour So the party followed home The resident selector Said, “Your set ends after three” Caesar smiled with patience: [Male spoken] Time now answers directly to me. [Pre-Chorus] He added golden eagles To the lighting overhead Declared the booth a province And the green room newly fed The senators were watching From a quiet corner seat Passing notes beneath the table: [Whispered crowd] Someone has to stop this beat. [Chorus] Julius seize the beat Veni, vidi, VIP Every dancer at his feet Julius seize the beat Raise the standards, clear the street Make the bassline bow to me Rome was never this complete Julius seize the beat [Drop: chopped vocals] Veni! Vidi! VIP! Seize it! Spin it! Rome with me! [Verse 3] He scheduled his own statue For the center of the floor Then ordered every mirror To reflect him slightly more He called himself perpetual The crowd began to cheer The senators looked troubled And requested one more beer Brutus approached the booth then With a cable in his hand Caesar barely noticed He was busy with the band [Breakdown: bass cuts out, tense strings] [Female vocal] The Ides arrived at midnight The chandeliers went dim A circle formed behind him With grave concern for him Not daggers... just adapters And one determined crew They reached beneath the console And pulled the power through [Male spoken] Et tu, Bluetooth? [Silence] [Build: kick slowly returns] One plug! Two plugs! The republic strikes again! No crown! No throne! No emperor at ten! But Caesar found the backup Underneath the banquet seat He raised the room from silence... [Male spoken] You cannot kill the beat. [Final Chorus] Julius seize the beat Veni, vidi, VIP Every dancer at his feet Julius seize the beat Raise the standards, clear the street Make the bassline bow to me Rome was never this complete Julius seize the beat Julius seize the beat Senators admit defeat Lost the booth but kept the fleet Julius seize the beat [Final Post-Chorus: full crowd] Hail! Hail! DJ for life! Hail! Hail! Still seems unwise! [Outro: filtered groove fading] [Female vocal] At dawn they closed the forum And swept the marble clean [Coat-check attendant] Who left twelve golden eagles By the smoke machine?
