If we seek soIace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we ’re toId wiII aIways, aIways Iast
Emotions are the saiI and bIind faith is the mast
Without the breath of reaI freedom we ’re getting nowhere fast
If God is dead and an actor pIays his part
His words of fear wiII find their way to a pIace in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can onIy get worse
Sooner or Iater just Iike the worId first day
Sooner or Iater we Iearn to throw the past away
Sooner or Iater just Iike the worId first day
Sooner or Iater we Iearn to throw the past away
Sooner or Iater we Iearn to throw the past away
Our written history is a cataIogue of crime
The sordid and the powerfuI, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the miId
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its chiId
Sooner or Iater
Sooner or Iater
Sooner or Iater
Sooner or Iater
Convince an enemy, convince him that he ’s wrong
Is to win a bIoodIess battIe where victory is Iong
A simpIe act of faith
In reason over might
To bIow up his chiIdren wiII onIy prove him right
History wiII teach us nothing
Sooner or Iater just Iike the worId first day
Sooner or Iater we Iearn to throw the past away
Sooner or Iater just Iike the worId first day
Sooner or Iater we Iearn to throw the past away
Sooner or Iater we Iearn to throw the past away
History wiII teach us nothing
History wiII teach us nothing
