"History"

Late 80s, from Medford. Vin and I wrote and recorded this one while I was going to school at U. Mass for a finance BS. Once graduated, I’ve never had a job in the finance industry.


History

Lessons learned from the wise men
Who give us clues as best they can
And off them we feed
Mistakes are made as we all know
Then someone says, "Just let it go,"
And we all let it bleed.

There's a story told about a pot of gold
That I can't seem to find
Years and years I've been on this road
My heart is open wide

There's a ringing in our ears
That always seems to draw our tears
It's the sounding of a gun
Reaching out two greedy hands
Having to share's not what we planned
And war has just begun

There's a story told about a pot of gold
That I can't seem to find
Years and years I've been on this road
My heart is open wide

Maybe someday we will open our eyes
Give a little in, drop our disguise
It's up to you

There's a story told about a pot of gold
That I can't seem to find
Years and years I've been on this road
And I’m running out of time
