Ancient History

Throughout the ages, men were lost

They never found themselves

Through different stages never learning

Not to kill themselves

And so they prayed to God way up in the clouds above

They hoped he'd fill their hearts with love

It's ancient history

It's how we got this way

It's really no mystery that we're still the same today

Through sweeping changes, man evolved becoming civilized

Though our emotions, our animal natures

They still ruled our lives

Took what they really wanted, burned what they didn't need

Their hearts were filled with hate and greed

It's ancient history

It's how we got this way

It's ancient history

Funny we're the same today

It's ancient history

It's how we got this way

It's really no mystery that we're still the same today
