The History Of The World (Live, 1984) Lyrics

When I was in my mothers womb
Social structure seemed a simple thing
After birth I cursed my luck
Then went down to breakfastWhat I know fills me up
It is an everlasting cup
What I believe will never change
My consolation for the nightMother had for me an egg
I understood the relations of production
She always provided for me
That's where I lost my naivety ?
Stability is in my mind
I associate with my kind
Charity, it fills my heart
To help the poor in Africa[Chorus: x6]
Good, yes, you've done well
Here is a small prize
The history of the world

Gang of Four are a British post-punk group from Leeds, England. Original personnel were singer Jon King, guitarist Andy Gill, bass guitarist Dave Allen and drummer Hugo Burnham. They were fully active from 1977 to 1984, and then re-emerged twice in the 1990s with King and Gill. In 2005, the original lineup reunited. The group had a single in the British Top 60 with "At Home He's A Tourist" in 1979, which was blacklisted by Top Of The Pops for its use of the relatively innocuous term "rubbers".
