Assassination, stolen planes an', greed that always sets it off Religious crimes, guided minds, bombs that drop don't land soft Name your price and start whatever fight your looking for, it's at your door Mass extinction, genocide we've all been guilty of these crimes Domination liberates people are to blame reads a old cardboard sign I want to look back and see weaker part of me and us better after all those years None of that all of that can you hear that All of it none of it learn to see that Try to fly - broken wings - learn the hard way - suffering Never try never learn never gonna be ready when it's your turn Never see the warning signs - I've learned in my life Never leave the past behind Letting go - foolish pride - the help I need - denied Turn away in the middle of a fight just in time 'cause you know that they were right - I've learned in my life Never leave the past behind Lines of The Prince and The Republic show warning signs of long ago But who remembers to ask Plato. Yeah, forget the books and history's waste Full speed toward the next mistake Panic cheers, jello, nikes, Heaven's Gate, comets won't outrun your fate None of that all of that can you hear that History wants a piece of you All of it none of it learn to see that History just repeats in you Cultural jeans need a place to survive it's not just a fashion it's about staying alive Remember your little eyes, little minds soaking knowledge from your fathers voice Sitting smiling on your grandpa's lap resting on the wisdom that he had Funny by thirteen you know it all savvy until you fall, just remember what made you trip Next time how will you handle it Cultural genes need a place to survive it's not just a fashion it's about staying alive
