In ancient Rome, munera (Latin plural) were public works provided for the benefit of the Roman people (populus Romanus) by individuals of high status and wealth. The word munera, singular munus (cf. English "munificence") means "duty, obligation", expressing the individual's responsibility to provide a service or contribution to his community. Munera are owing to the private largesse of an individual, in contrast to the ludi, "games," athletic contests or spectacles sponsored by the state.
The most famous of the munera were the gladiatorial contests, which began as a service or gift rendered to the dead at funeral games; see Gladiator: Origins.
I MADE A ROCK'N'ROLL
WHEN I TRIED GIVIN' IN, TO MAKE MONEY HAD TO TURN DOWN LOW
THEY SAID, "WHY BE PROUD, DON'T PLAY SO LOUD, BE LIKE US
AND GET A SOUND THAT'S REAL THIN
WEAR A POLYESTER SUIT, ACT HAPPY, LOOK CUTE, GET A HAIRCUT
AND BUY SMALL GEAR"
THAT'S WHEN I TURNED TO THEM AND SAID, HOLD IT, RIGHT THERE
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYIN'
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
I'M JET FUEL HONEY, PLUG ME INTO 220, STEP BACK AND LET
MY FINGERS FLY
WHILE I'M BURNING UP MY GEAR, THERE'S A FIRE IN YOUR EAR
THAT WON'T STOP UNTIL THE DAY YOU DIE
I REALLY PUT IT TO THE FLOOR WHEN I HEAR THE CROWD ROAR
OH, IT'S MUSIC TO MY EARS WHEN THEY SCREAM
THEN I RUN BACK THE POWER RACK AND DECK, ALL OF MY GEAR
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYING
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
WELL IT'S MORE TO ME THAN JUST A JOB, AND WHILE I'M PLAYING
YOU WON'T GET ROBBED
NOBODY TELLS A MAN HOW TO PLAY, IT JUST AIN'T THAT WAY
HEY, HEY, HEY, CAN YOU HEAR ME SAY
ALL MEN PLAY ON TEN, NEVER GONNA TURN DOWN AGAIN
