Ancient History

Throughout the ages men were lost
They never found themselves
Through different stages never learning
Not to kill themselves
And so they prayed to God
Way up in the clouds above
They hoped He'd fill their hearts with love

It's ancient history
It's how we got this way
It's really no mystery
That we're still the same today

Through sweeping changes, many fall
Becoming civilized
Though our emotions, our animal nature
They still rule our lives
Took what they really wanted
Burned what they didn't need
Their hearts were filled with hate and greed

It's ancient history
It's how we got this way
It's ancient history
Funny we're the same today
It's ancient history
It's how we got this way
It's really no mystery
That we're still the same today
