"History Repeats Itself" lyrics

Woke up today and they're tearing down
Another thing I love about this town
Little men in ill-fitting suits
Making the decisions for me and you
Tall and skinny, cheap and fast
Who gives a damn how long they'll last?
Get the money, get out of town
Be long gone before it all falls down

I refuse to sit back idly
Mindlessly playing the cards we're dealt
I'd rather shoot for the moon and burn out brightly
Than sit around watching history repeat itself

Turn on the news and it breaks my heart
Another family being torn apart
How many times does it have to
Happen to them before it happens to you?
I refuse to believe this is who we are
And I won't sit back and let it fall apart
You're either saying okay or absolutely not
You're either giving up or giving it all you got

I refuse to sit back idly
Mindlessly playing the cards we're dealt
I'd rather shoot for the moon and burn out brightly
Than sit around watching history repeat itself

I refuse to sit back idly
Mindlessly playing the cards we're dealt
I'd rather shoot for the moon and burn out brightly
Than sit around watching history repeat itself
