When in Rome

When in Rome

Well aren’t you so popular
with those colors in your hair?
High fashion, high culture —
Tell me, is it rare?

Well aren’t you so commonplace 
with those colors in your hair?
Such a shame, such a waste —
Tell me, where’s the flair?

Well aren’t you so working-class
with those colors in your hair?
Stained with grease, stained with grass —
Tell me, don’t you care?

In Rome, we’d have just called you plebeian,
back when Darius ruled the Aegean.
