Cycles
I once met a man with a sign
Who stood alone at the side of a street
And as I passed, he reached out to me and said
"Son, I have something to teach"
Now listen up
We blame the many for the deeds of a few
Ban entertainment for the evil that men do
Abolish anything that is different
All out of fear because we're losing our grip
We've done all this so many times
So many time before
Will we ever learn?
Why do we never learn?
We make the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
History repeats itself
As the cycles come to another end
Burn the witch
Crucify the heathen
Make them suffer for their difference
Punish them for what they believe in
This is just the last and and the latest
In a list of mistakes that goes back to the early days
We're still so narrow-minded
Sure times are different, but not much has changed
We've done all this so many times
So many time before
Will we ever learn?
Why do we never learn?
We make the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
History repeats itself
As the cycles come to another end
We're so afraid
Of what we don't understand
That we'd rather lose our rights
Than to open up our minds
Oh!
Just open up your eyes
We've done all this before
Nothing will ever change
If we never learn from the past
We've done all this so many times
So many time before
Will we ever learn?
Why do we never learn?
We make the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
History repeats itself
As the cycles come to another fucking end
Who stood alone at the side of a street
And as I passed, he reached out to me and said
"Son, I have something to teach"
Now listen up
We blame the many for the deeds of a few
Ban entertainment for the evil that men do
Abolish anything that is different
All out of fear because we're losing our grip
We've done all this so many times
So many time before
Will we ever learn?
Why do we never learn?
We make the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
History repeats itself
As the cycles come to another end
Burn the witch
Crucify the heathen
Make them suffer for their difference
Punish them for what they believe in
This is just the last and and the latest
In a list of mistakes that goes back to the early days
We're still so narrow-minded
Sure times are different, but not much has changed
We've done all this so many times
So many time before
Will we ever learn?
Why do we never learn?
We make the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
History repeats itself
As the cycles come to another end
We're so afraid
Of what we don't understand
That we'd rather lose our rights
Than to open up our minds
Oh!
Just open up your eyes
We've done all this before
Nothing will ever change
If we never learn from the past
We've done all this so many times
So many time before
Will we ever learn?
Why do we never learn?
We make the same mistakes
Over and over and over again
History repeats itself
As the cycles come to another fucking end
