He said history repeats in perpetuity
first as a tragedy, then as a farce
the white trash kids say they like it how it is
construction jobs bring them lots of cash and early marriages
the catholic kid says he's keeping it the same and the mistakes of his parents he'll carry to his grave
and the Christian kids say it's how it's always been where the battles lines are clearly drawn between piety and sin he said lovers of prostitutes are happy, fit, and satisfied
as for me (us), my (our) arms are broken from grasping the clouds.
