STING - History Will Teach Us Nothing lyrics
rate meIf we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past<br>Security in human systems we're told will always always last<br>Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast<br>Without a breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast<br><br>If God is dead and an actor plays his part<br>His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart<br>Without the voice of reason every faith is it's own curse<br>Without freedom from the past things can only get worse<br><br>Sooner or later just like the world first day<br>Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away<br>Sooner or later just like the world first day<br>Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away<br>Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away<br><br>History will teach us nothing<br>History will teach us nothing<br><br>Our written history is a catalogue of crime<br>The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time<br>The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild<br>The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as it's child<br><br>Sooner or later<br>Sooner or later<br>Sooner or later<br>Sooner or later<br><br>Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong<br>Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long<br>A simple act of faith<br>In reason over might<br>To blow up his children will only prove him right<br>History will teach us nothing<br><br>Sooner or later the world first day<br>Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away<br>Sooner or later the world first day<br>Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away<br>Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away<br><br>History will teach us nothing<br>History will teach us nothing<br><br>Know you human rights<br>Be what you come here for<br>Know your human rights<br>Be what you come here for<br>Know your human rights<br>Be what you come here for<br>Know your human rights<br>Be what you come here for
