You'd Be Wrong

from STATE OF THE ONION by Stephen Bard

/

lyrics

The war to end all wars
Came to an end eventually
And the Spanish influenza spread like wildfire in every country
Millions earned
Millions burned
You’d think that something would be learned
From looking at a history so long
But you’d be wrong

Every generation gets their version of a voice
This doesn’t necessarily translate into a choice
Millions made in the parade
You’d think that we’d be sick of being played
Just like a tired oldies song
But you’d be wrong
You’d be wrong
You’d be wrong
You’d be wrong

What’s it gonna take to change what we have wrought?
Something’s gotta break to get these wires and lessons taut
What’s it gonna take?
I shudder at the thought
You would think that we’d get wiser
With everything that’s going on
Everything that’s going on

The war to end all wars
Came to an end eventually
And the Spanish influenza spread like wildfire in every country
Millions earned
Millions burned
You’d think that something would be learned
From looking at a history so long
But you’d be wrong
You’d be wrong
You’d be wrong
You’d be wrong
