History

Back when I'd gone to school
They tried to teach me a thing or two
Couldn't make no sense of it
Didn't fit no rules
Had way too many questions
Searching out some truth

Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh

One day the teacher
He said you
Gotta learn from history
That's what we do
That's how we taught your father
And the ones before
All that weight on my shoulder
Couldn't take no more

Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh

History
Who is he?
Checked out his story
But it wasn't for me
Learned about war and plunder
And a lot of greed
Did we learn our lessons?
You tell me

Travel has
Taught me well
Lived in paradise
Been to hell
Soaked in the world's diversity
Broke my shell
Try to live my story
Mine to tell

Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
Ahh ahh ahh
Ohh ohh ohh
