History Lesson Lyrics
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 begun to scream and run
But the current pulled us down
And the smallest ones would drown
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 angels in the sun
Now we sit and drink all day
Telling tales of yesterday
And it always ends 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'd 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 not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me...
Let the beatings now begin
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
There's nothing left as you can see
We begun to scream and run
But the current pulled us down
And the smallest ones would drown
Now we sit and drink all day
And sing their songs of praise
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
There's nothing left as you can see
That arrived to take our place
We were broken one by one
By angels in the sun
Telling tales of yesterday
And it always ends the same
It's not my god damn history
What do you hope to find here
I thought I'd made it crystal clear
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
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me for
(it's not my god damn history)
What are you asking me...

Going through something traumatic. Dealing with it with alcohol and denial. Until the point that you accept the denial as truth.
I can say I relate to this song so much. I absolutely love it, with the rest of my dinosaur life. I relate to it so much.
