When in Rome

Where can a sick man go?
When he cant choke down the medicine, the old doc knows
A specialist came to town but he stays at home
Sayin, 'No one knows, so I dont', honey, when in Rome
Where can a teacher go?
Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows
Hey, those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home
And theyll burn one in the fireplace, teacher, when in Rome
Grab a blanket, sister, well make smoke signals
Bring us some new blood, it feels like were alone
Grab a blanket, brother so we dont catch cold
From one another, I wonder if were stuck in Rome
Where can a dead man go?
The question with an answer only dead men know
But Im going to bet they never really feel at home
If they spent a lifetime learning, how to live in Rome
