History of Pain Lyrics

There used to be a different way

But it's gone the way of the dodo

They didn't sweep it up in a day

They just chipped it away in slow-mo

We made a mess of it from the start

It didn't go the way that we planned it

Busting heads and trampling hearts

Until nobody left could stand it

It was so easy making a scare

They just pointed to the disaster

They said you don't wanna end up there

So you better obey your master

And then they took us on quite a ride

And it left everybody reeling

But when you're not on the winning side

Then you get left with a hopeless feeling

It isn't easy being the boss

It's even harder to to all the labour

When we think of slavery's cost

We don't feel the pain of the slaver
