Spoilerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category: ... man_people

Palindrome notes:
- piano right-hand part in the intros/bridge
- backup vocal part in the verses/bridge
- guitar part in the bridge
- doesn't count but there is a palindrome phrase in the bass and piano left hand within the intro/verse parts

Hey man, hey
Did you ever think
They’d pray to you
Wanting peace
Hey man, hey
They burned Rome
To the ground
Just to clean the streets

And when they twist their little knives
Shame in their eyes
Only made you deified

Oh Caesar!
Empires crumbling
Oh Caesar!
Under man and greed
I’d really like to know
If everyone is free
It’s like we never learned
Cause here we bleed

Hey man, hey
They bring flowers
To your temple
Everyday
Hey man, hey
Even Shakespeare
Wrote about you
In a play

And when they twist their little knives
Shame in their eyes
Only made you deified

Oh Caesar!
Empires crumbling
Oh Caesar!
Under man and greed
I’d really like to know
If everyone is free
It’s like we never learned
Cause here we bleed

Oh Caesar!
Empires crumbling
Oh Caesar!
Under man and greed
I’d really like to know
If everyone is free
It’s like we never learned
Cause here we bleed

that piano palindrome riff is really fun, and the palindrome vocal bits are strong hooks. Great vocal performance as ever, excellent mix, not much to critique here!

All the additional backing vocals in this are really great, like the wordless bits in the verse and doubling of the chorus. All the sections flow together very well and each bring something to the song. Performance and production is top drawer as usual. The one peice of criticism I would give is that, like the Lunkhead song, there's very little to differentiate the verses in terms of arrangement. I think perhaps the guitars come in too soon. You could probably have held off on them until the second verse to give a feeling of progression or build throughout the song.
