The Ballad Of Claudius

from We Do Not Want To Be Ugly by The Buglies

about

Concept by Corina Garza-Lake

lyrics

CLAUDIUS HAD A LIMP AND SLIGHT DEAFNESS
OSTRACIZED BY HIS FAMILY AND EXCLUDED FROM PUBLIC OFFICE
UNTIL HIS CONSULSHIP SHARED WITH HIS NEPHEW CALIGULA
HIS INFIRMITY PROBABLY LED TO HIS SURVIVAL OF THE PURGE OF TIBERIUS

AFTER CALIGULA'S DEATH HE WAS THE ONLY MAN LEFT IN HIS FAMILY

DECLARED EMPEROR BY THE PRAETORIAN GUARD
DESPITE HIS LACK OF EXPERIENCE CLAUDIUS WOULD GO FAR

AN ABLE ADMINISTRATOR AND AN AMBITIOUS BUILDER

CONSTRUCTING MANY NEW ROADS, CANALS, AND AQUEDUCTS
THE EMPIRE THEN BEGAN THE CONQUEST OF BRITAIN

SEEN AS VULNERABLE BY HIS MANY ENEMIES
IT WAS HIS OWN WIFE THAT TOOK HIS LIFE IN 54 A.D.
