History will teach us nothing
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems we're told will always, always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without the breath of real freedom we're getting nowhere fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part
His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
History will teach us nothing
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for
Know your human rights
Be what you come here for

@Silentgasp Couldn't have said it better myself, still a great song....
-
the bass line is mean for sure, but that percussion work is whats kicking my ass.!! awesome man
-
like sting first and foremost because he writes songs about relevant subjects, much like Peter Gabriel. No surprise they both fight for same causes and have sung together on occasions
-
guess sting didn't know the phrase "those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
-
i wanted to see the video why waste our time?
-
the bass on this song is VICIOUS!
-
bad ass jam
-

Yes, history does teach us nothing; better yet, few care or pay attention are aware or self-less enough to learn of its lessons, for we live in the United States of Amnesia.
