History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strong
History's so strongSing another drinking song the honky tonk will do
Making another breaking bone your favorite ingenue
This, the distant dawn
This, the distant dawnI put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One picks his broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the oceanEyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go downStay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the populationPistol and its pawn
Sell it to the lexicon
A pistol and its pawn
Blood and border lines be drawnTake another bottle down the brothel and the shrew
Make another awful sound, a rather Gothic brew
History's so strong
History's so strongI put my cards upon the table
I do this because I am able
One picks his broken down devotion
I threw my pistol in the oceanEyes wide with revelation
Shine at the police station
And when the verdict comes 'round
I'm sure that you will go downStay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
Stay all night, we'll save the population
