Stelth Ulvang - History Lyrics

I am a knot of silence you untangle me and you don't even show
It's been the worry of a poor boy which I aint, and God you always seems to know
The things we had forgotten you'll remember when your boxing up our home
Cause this history ain't bullshit so don't forget let's just tell it as a joke
And yah we got our sisters and in some ways we still got our mom and dads
Though we've been defeated and forgotten well we know it's not so bad
Cause the genes are strings or netting and we're stuck here or we're strung up in a yoke
And this history ain't bullshit don't forget it don't just tell it as a joke
And I've been known to squander means surrender for forever dollar more
You can buy out of this habit you can buy yourself out of this endless war
But money disappears like rabbits, the magic of the mirrors and the never ending smoke
And this history ain't bullshit don't forget it don't just tell it as a joke
So, we all pillaged Townes
Who stole from Burdon
Who took from Dylan
Who stole Van Ronk's
Who took from Guthrie but nouns keeping track
It's a breeze to borrow something but it's stolen if you never give it back
But these words as restitution don't amend a past we hide behind a cloak
No this history ain't bullshit don't forget it don't just tell it as a joke
Cause at least it's on the table you can see that it's been sitting there and broke
No this history ain't bullshit don't forget don't you just tell it as a joke
