History from eirie by Pete Drummond

History

We vote for billionaires, liars and pimps
The kind of money that buys anything
Worship movie stars, reality freaks
Everyone who's anyone is down in the sheets
Does your momma know that you wanna be
The kind of woman you see on your screen
Everyone's a star and baby they know it
They've got the seed but they'll never sow it

Watchful old river flows
Rolling when you're gone
There's only one thing I know
So baby c'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

Chorus
Ain't learned nothing from history
The good die young, rivers run to the sea
Ain't learned nothing from history
The money changed hands
Slaves were led to bleed
Ain't learned nothing from history
Pillars still stand, killers still running free
Ain't learned nothing from history
People wake now, people break free

Ain't no originals
Derivative thieves
Third-hand vanilla facsimiles
The stars will shine tonight
The sun will come up tomorrow
It doesn't matter ‘bout your insta follows

Watchful old river flows
Rolling when you're gone
There's only one thing I know
So baby C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon
