Texts and Tomes Lyrics
Forget the likes of texts and tomes and old photos
The things we learned won’t make a bit of difference
And all we know is a few brave souls
Will try to break the cycle
Falling into the same old ruts we found before
We always said we’d learn from our own past
Swimming against the currents of history
Make these mistakes with me
Can evolution last through modernity
Make these mistakes with me
Overlooking the past few centuries
(Centuries on and on intend to keep us)
Can you really say these are strides we’ve made?
That we have made
Swimming against the currents of history
Make these mistakes with me
Can evolution last through modernity
Make these mistakes without me
Don’t take my picture
Cause I don’t want my likeness recorded in your collective
In your collective history
The things we learned won’t make a bit of difference
And all we know is a few brave souls
Will try to break the cycle
Falling into the same old ruts we found before
We always said we’d learn from our own past
Make these mistakes with me
Can evolution last through modernity
Make these mistakes with me
(Centuries on and on intend to keep us)
Can you really say these are strides we’ve made?
That we have made
Make these mistakes with me
Can evolution last through modernity
Make these mistakes without me
Cause I don’t want my likeness recorded in your collective
In your collective history
