The Sad History of the World - Lyrics - Ventana

We always catch on late After we hurt the ones who care And then we cry for ages Yet we never learn to share The teachings of our fallen heroes To those who are different We just repeat this deadly cycle And become abhorrent This is it, this is how we sealed our fate By our hate, by our choice to discriminate Every messenger we shall incriminate We bleed the freak and then suffer from our mistake What we need is some faith and discipline We need to wash all this innocent blood off our skin Access the ignorance, the secrets, the lies, and the sin Reflect on errors of the past and let a future begin We are monkeys with ammo Nothing advanced more We are a needy f**king species We are dogs of war Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate Martin Luther King and the L.A. riots This is the sad history of the world The people that we hate, then we kill, never learn Hitler, Bush, and Napoleon Adam and Eve and the original sin Lessons lost in time; hatred reoccurs The sound of scraping metal, the earth can barely turn Hiroshima and Vietnam Albert Einstein's atomic bomb The suffering still continues and always will until the end of time Why do we expel the ones that could save us? Maybe it's time that we shut up and listen Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy A fatal shot to democracy Area 51, cancer and AIDS The holocaust and the crusades The truth is buried We kill what we don't understand Maybe it's time to expand our feeble minds
