Modern Hut - History lyrics

rate me

I had a dream last night

The world was spinning on its side

I’m not sure what that means

When I woke up I saw a nation

Of overnight sensations

Where irony was currency

People were writing their own history

Nothing was left to mystery

Everything was planned

And it all felt like a scam

Calculations were religion

It’s how they made decisions

Of what to like

And how to act

A folk song singer said he’d found his calling

But was he really falling in love with her

Or was it just words

And the critic

Said the piece was complicated

Or was it overrated

He wasn’t sure

He wasn’t sure

They were writing their own history

Nothing was left to mystery

Everything was planned

And it all felt like a scam

Calculations were religion

It’s how they made decisions

Of what to like

And how to act

The fisher said his lake was overflowing

Or were the fish just growing

He didn’t know

How could he know?

And the movies that spoke to a generation

Were no longer playing

They didn’t show

Just empty rows.

We were writing our own history

Nothing was left to mystery

Everything was planned

And it all felt like a scam

Calculations were religion

It’s how we made decisions

Of what to like

And how to act (x2)
