Will all promises be kept? Will we all be better off? I get the notion we won't know Until the ketamine wears off I looked up and to my left and saw A canopy of greed I do not need to be unburdened I just need someone to lead And if it looks a bit familiar Like it did the other time They say that history don't repeat itself No, history just rhymes The river's deep The river's wide And there ain't no way across it 'cept to swim or sink and die The way is long The path is mean I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream When the black cat with his chainsaw Picked a child from his litter To remind us he's a man I'll admit I did feel bitter And I wondered if the jester knew That he's in on the joke Some folks don't ask whats in the wagon They just grin and bear the yoke And if it looks a bit familiar Like it did the other time They say that history don't repeat itself No, history just rhymes The river's deep The river's wide And there ain't no way across it 'cept to swim or sink and die The way is long The path is mean I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream When they pave over the bodies And democratize the stones I will leave a Yelp review In the valley of the bones When the thirsty get their blood And all the people's souls departed They can raise the holy swollen Golden temple of the arches Onward history marches And if it looks a bit familiar Like it did the other time They say that history don't repeat itself No, history just rhymes The river's deep The river's wide And there ain't no way across it 'cept to swim or sink and die The way is long The path is mean I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream I ain't got none of my friends left, they all vanished in the stream
