History

(álbum: Finish Lines - 1988)

I've never seen you make a face like this
I wonder maybe was there something I missed
I send a message and you send a reply
I catch you looking at another guy

History, sure is just an old friend
I could use a lesson in history
History, the funny thing about me
I don't want to be history

I watch the news, I don't know what it means
Maybe I could see it on a larger screen
We change the faces on the merry go round
We're on a ride that is easily found in

History, I wonder if the president
Learns a little lesson in history
History, funny thing about me
I don't want to be history

I had a gypsy lady read my palm
She saw a motion of a nuclear bomb
She said I'm sorry son, it can't be helped
It has a habit of repeating itself, it's

History, men in either hemisphere
Push a little button, we're history
History, the funny thing about me
I don't want to be history

I'm to young to be history
I really don't want to be history
I'm to young to be history
