Bm
Well, ain't it a shame
Bm
That our short little memories
Bm
Never seem to learn
E
The message of history
Bm
We keep makin' the same mistakes
Bm
Over and over and over and over again
Bm
And then we wonder why
E
We're in the shape we're in

Bm
Good ol' boys down at the bar
Bm
Peanuts and politics
Bm
They think they know it all
E
They don't know much of nothing
Bm
Even if one of them was to read the newspaper
Bm
Cover-to-cover
Bm
That ain't what's going on
E
Journalism's dead and gone

Bm
Frail grasp on the big picture
Bm                   G              A
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker
       Bm
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
         G
Dark ages
