History Pages Lyrics

We thought the Dark Ages

Were history pages

Castles and cages

The world it still rages

The king and the owner

The labor, the serf

Spend your life in the fields

Mow the perfect green turf

Living in tents

Clothes that hang on the fence

'cause

They can't pay the rents

It's the dollars, the cents

Hope ran away with,

The job and the wife

But not the depression

That's staying for life

Eviction

Restriction

addiction

Conviction

Up on the hill

Houses four stories tall

No one will be there

From summer 'til fall

Homes in three places

To cover their bases

Injecting their faces

And packing suit cases

The Rolex

Range Rover

The crimson

The clover

Commoners staring

Up at the royals

Shielding their eyes from

The glare of the spoils

The Renaissance ended

Enlightenment done

Dark Ages continue

You're living in one

Forget it just post on

Your Instagram story

Maybe you'll move up

From Labor to Tory

Then money will flow like

you turned on the tap

Private equity, baby

Or learn how to rap

We thought the Dark Ages

Were history pages

Castles, the cages

The world it still rages

We thought the Dark Ages

Were history pages

The castles, the cages

But the world…

It still rages

History pages

History pages

History pages
