A Brief History of Humankind Lyrics

She gave me a brief history of humankind

Parts with flowers and animals we left behind

The largest group of soldiers burned alive

Momentary notions that led us blind

Numerous oceans we never found, but

I wanted a drink, not a reason to drown

She gave me a brief of history of humankind

Kings and queens should have had a jester joking at their side

It hurts to hear the truth when you heard the songs

The stories and the morals you'd sing along

Brief as life could be can't you really tell

I just wanted a drink not a jump down a well

She gave me a brief history of humankind

It sucks I never told her most of us don't really mind

The earth could set on fire below my feet

A crowd of neo-nazis destroy my street

A million opinions but all I see

Are people having their drinks

Why don't you have one with me?
