History

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

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

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?

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

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?
