Lyrics Kinky's History Lesson - The Waterboys
Dear
Kinky
Friedman,
I
read
what
you
wrote
Neville
Chamberlain
surrender
monkeys
- yup,
that
was
your
quote
Well,
we
all
say
stupid
things
sometimes,
so
here
with
my
blessing
Kinky
Friedman,
this
is
your
history
lesson
Chamberlain
declared
war
on
the
3rd
of
September
The
US
wasn′t
involved,
as
I
remember
And
after
Poland
fell,
then
Belgium
and
France
Britain
stood
alone
with
barely
a
chance
We
faced
Hitler
down,
he
unleashed
the
blitz
A
hundred
nine
elevens
that
left
London
in
bits
But
we
never
caved
in,
Britain
never
surrendered
No
petition
for
peace,
Kinky,
was
ever
fuckin'
tendered
Oh,
Kinky
Friedman
Dude,
quit
your
messin′
And
listen
up
good
This
is
your
history
lesson
Roosevelt
helped
us
with
armaments
and
food
His
vision
was
sure
and
his
policy
good
He'd
have
brought
the
USA
into
the
war
on
our
side
But
the
isolationists
had
both
his
hands
tied
Stay
out,
stay
out
was
your
public's
demand
Till
Japan
hit
Pearl
Harbour
and
that
forced
your
hand
Then
your
boys
fought
like
lions
but
so
the
hell
did
ours
And
only
an
asshole,
Kinky,
could
call
the
British
cowards
Oh,
Kinky
Friedman
Take
some
quiet
time
processing
These
words
of
mine
Your
history
lesson
And
here′s
a
casualty
count
for
you
to
muse
upon,
man
Military
personnel
and
civilians
Killed
in
the
theatre
of
World
War
two
USA:
four
hundred
and
nineteen
thousand
and
four
hundred
Great
Britain:
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
and
nine
hundred
And
just
to
keep
perspective
USSR:
twenty-seven
million...
or
thereabouts
Yeah,
war
is
no
joke
And
my
friend
you
misspoke
Or
so
I′m
guessin'
But
take
this
well,
buddy
And
may
it
ease
your
soul
Kinky
Friedman
this
has
been
Your
history
lesson
