History Lesson

What are you asking me for,

it's not my god damn history

What do you hope to find here,

there's nothing left as you can see.



When the beatings all began

We began to scream and run,

but the current pulled us down

and the smallest ones were drawn

Now we sit and drink all day

and sing their songs of praise



What are you asking me for,

it's not my god damn history

What do you hope to find here,

there's nothing left as you can see



There was something in the waves,

that arrived to take our place

We were broken one by one

by the angels in the sun



Now we sit and drink all day

telling tales of the yesterday

and always seems the same



What are you asking me for,

it's not my god damn history

What do you hope to find here,

I thought I made it crystal clear



We learned a lot about the art of contradiction

We learned a lot about the company we keep

We learned a lot about what keeps us all together, I'm with you

Until the end



What are you asking me for

What are you asking me for



What are you asking me for,

(it's just my god damn history)

What are you asking me for,

(it's just my god damn history)

What are you asking me for,

(it's just my god damn history)



What are you asking me...

With the beatings held again.
