History
Jay Graydon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
While things remain the same
Politicians do their ace
It's not the time for change
Who said we gotta play their game
It's not the way it has to be
Power up hungry heads of stake
They lead us down the road
What do they really know
Too long we've let they run the show
The wage you wore on destiny
There's only one more chance at history
Too walk away a million tears
Before we loose what's left of humanity
They'll thank us in a thousand years
Tuscany the spending boy
So they can let them style
And that's we're watch our future run
They'll just sit back and smile
Who knows where this is gonna leave
There's no one there we can believe
There's only one more chance at history
Too walk away a million tears
Before we loose what's left of humanity
They'll thank us in a thousand years
Only one more shot at history
Too walk away a million tears
Before we loose what's left of humanity
They'll thank us in a thousand years

Line by Line Meaning
I've lost myself throughout the years
I have lost touch with my identity over time
While things remain the same
Despite this, everything else has stayed constant
Politicians do their ace
Politicians play their clever moves
It's not the time for change
The current time is not ideal for progress
Who said we gotta play their game
Whoever said we must follow their rules?
It's not the way it has to be
This does not reflect how things should be
Power up hungry heads of stake
Those in charge become more greedy and corrupt
They lead us down the road
They guide us towards their desired outcome
They tell us that they know the way
They claim to have the answers
What do they really know
In reality, they may not know anything
Too long we've let they run the show
We have allowed them to control for too long
The wage you wore on destiny
You determine your fate
There's only one more chance at history
We only have one opportunity to make a lasting impact
Too walk away a million tears
The alternative is to leave the situation with regret
Before we loose what's left of humanity
Before we completely lose ourselves and our values
They'll thank us in a thousand years
Future generations will appreciate our efforts
Tuscany the spending boy
Wasteful spending leads to negative consequences
So they can let them style
So they can continue living extravagantly
And that's we're watch our future run
This leads to a bleak future for us
They'll just sit back and smile
While they continue to benefit and profit
Who knows where this is gonna leave
It's impossible to predict the outcome
There's no one there we can believe
There's no trustworthy authority figure
Only one more shot at history
We only have one more chance to make a difference
Too walk away a million tears
The alternative is to leave with regret and disappointment
Before we loose what's left of humanity
Before we completely lose our sense of morality and compassion
They'll thank us in a thousand years
Our actions will benefit future generations
