| And we all talk about world peace but then war comes again
|
| Dr. King and the Kennedys, murder takes another friend
|
| Korea, 'Nam, El Salvador, the name is never the same
|
| Laser guns and germ warfare, new toys but the same old game
|
| History repeats itself
|
| History repeats itself
|
| History repeats itself
|
| History repeats itself
|
| And people are starving everyday, the sick are going uncured
|
| While Mr. Big’s huge bank account lets him rest self-assured
|
| The 1920s and the 1950s no one was singin' the blues
|
| Depression came and took it away, you’re always paying dues
|
| History repeats itself
|
| History repeats itself
|
| History repeats itself
|
| History repeats itself
|
| And punk rock’s not so far removed from Little Richard or the early Stones
|
| Look around and see how much and just how little we’ve grown
|
| Sometimes the scene’s so very good, sometimes there’s nothing to do
|
| The past’s a circle going round and round, the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you
|
| History the future’s up to you |
