As History Repeats
History repeats itself
First as tragedy
Second as farce
A wise man once said
Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
And here we are as one generation follows the next
Treading the same footsteps
Like it's Groundhog Day
Perceval, Chamberlain
Callaghan, Thatcher
Cameron and May
A cycle of leaders who put
Their own agenda
Over the need of the country
The Peterloo Massacre
The Poll Tax Riots
The Miners Strike
Fix the NHS
And countless other protests
When will our leaders learn
They will never break us
That we will always fight
Round and round we go
In a cycle of lies and mistakes
That those in power often make
Here we go once again
As the world keeps on turning
Here we go once again
As history keeps on repeating
They are sending troops to
Afghanistan, Syria
Nigeria, Mali
Iraq and Libya
Under the illusion of humanitarianism
But we all know too well it's all about power and greed
As we have seen so many times before
When our nations go to war
Here we go once again
As the world keeps on turning
Here we go once again
As history keeps on repeating
First as tragedy
Second as farce
A wise man once said
Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it
And here we are as one generation follows the next
Treading the same footsteps
Like it's Groundhog Day
Perceval, Chamberlain
Callaghan, Thatcher
Cameron and May
A cycle of leaders who put
Their own agenda
Over the need of the country
The Peterloo Massacre
The Poll Tax Riots
The Miners Strike
Fix the NHS
And countless other protests
When will our leaders learn
They will never break us
That we will always fight
Round and round we go
In a cycle of lies and mistakes
That those in power often make
Here we go once again
As the world keeps on turning
Here we go once again
As history keeps on repeating
They are sending troops to
Afghanistan, Syria
Nigeria, Mali
Iraq and Libya
Under the illusion of humanitarianism
But we all know too well it's all about power and greed
As we have seen so many times before
When our nations go to war
Here we go once again
As the world keeps on turning
Here we go once again
As history keeps on repeating
