New Model Army - History lyrics

rate me

I know that it happened, I know that story

But that was years and years ago

Still you're pushing and still you're claiming

The pound of flesh you say I owe

Ch: We've already paid for it

We've already strung for it

We've already died for it

Why can't you leave us alone?

There is no whitewash, there's no conspiracy

You're not a victim anymore

I know it's easy to be a loser

If you spill acid in your sores

Ch: We've already paid for it . . .

Bring in the hard men, bring in the armoury

If escalation's what you want

Everybody needs an enemy

But I don't want to be yours

Ch: We've already paid for it . . .
