we've tried with history, got burned with mystery
our facts were binned as lies, authority compromised
we've got to part the sea, short of lobotomy
turn off this comedy and not demoralize
it doesn't have to be like that
it doesn't have to look like that
it doesn't have to be, they could be history
if we could convince everyone and everyone is not too dumb
then we could win
try tweeting out a link, and printing wads of ink
i'll facebook everyone, i went to high school with
this plan, it cannot fail - i've fought them tooth and nail
i wish they had no guns, my teeth were such a fail
it doesn't have to be like that
it doesn't have to look like that
it doesn't have to be, it could be history
if we could convince everyone and everyone is not too dumb
then we could win, but i doubt it
we could win, but i doubt it
it doesn't have to be like that
it doesn't have to look like that
it doesn't have to be, it could be history
if we could convince everyone and everyone is not too dumb
then we could win
