A Short History Lesson Songtext
von Less Than Jake

Good morning students!

The story opens
Right
Where
I knew it would end
It′s repeating over, stuck in my past tense

So I
Stop
Wait
And face today
I gotta pull it apart, so I can push it away

I was born and raised alone and on the edge
I've been wanting more but winding up with less

I can′t think about it
On every single day
A quick decline coming over me

I won't talk about it
But I admit to say
It's been a short piece of history


The story closes
Right
Here
It′s over again
It′s repeating over, like it never began

So I
Stop
Look
At all I've done, and I′m feeling like I'm stuck on page one

I was born and raised alone and on the edge
I′ve been wanting more but winding up with less

I can't think about it
On every single day
A quick decline coming over me

I won′t talk about it
But I admit to say
It's been a short piece of history

I can't think about it
On every single day
A quick decline coming over me

I won′t talk about it
But I admit to say
It′s been a short piece of history


I was born and raised alone and on the edge
I've been wanting more but winding up with less
