lyrics

your economy smells like me
precious stones and oil wars on TV
reputation won’t pay our bills
but my voice and my body will
and when your history ends
I’ll start all over again
I’ll still be here a thousand years from now,
a thousand times around the sun
a sequel to history, much better than history part one

Is this live, are you here to shop
watch me dance on this tabletop?
back in the cave at the dawn of time
I was throwing pearls before swine
and when your history ends
I’ll start all over again
I’ll still be here a thousand years from now,
a thousand times around the sun
a sequel to history, much better than history part one

my day may or may not come
but I feel hungry sometimes
give me a pen or at least a sword
I got no owner, no lord

I’ll still be here a thousand years from now
I’ll still be here ten thousand years from now
I’ll still be here a million years from now

I work my body with all my might
with all the proletarians of the night
