Divisions - Our Histories Lyrics

A grand idea, an evil plan
A ruse, a joke, a farce, a scam
There'll be no coming back from this
A blight on all our histories
Another fine old mess we're in
While some among us live like kings
The rest do what we're told to do
The many gladly serve the few
And now, here they are
There for us, haven't we come so far?
Heads held high, standing tall
Unashamed and happy to lose it all
And so we find ourselves again
In rows of ordinary men
They take their bows, depart the scene
And disappear unheard, unseen
But for now, here they are
There for us, oh how we've come so far
Heads held high, standing tall
Undeterred and ready to lose it all
Your glorious experiment
Made enemies of peaceful men
And while one day their scars will fade
You'll hang for all those grave mistakes you made

A grand idea, an evil plan
A ruse, a joke, a farce, a scam
There'll be no coming back from this
A blight on all our histories
Another fine old mess we're in
While some among us live like kings
The rest do what we're told to do
The many gladly serve the few
And now, here they are
There for us, haven't we come so far?
Heads held high, standing tall
Unashamed and happy to lose it all
And so we find ourselves again
In rows of ordinary men
They take their bows, depart the scene
And disappear unheard, unseen
But for now, here they are
There for us, oh how we've come so far
Heads held high, standing tall
Undeterred and ready to lose it all
Your glorious experiment
Made enemies of peaceful men
And while one day their scars will fade
You'll hang for all those grave mistakes you made
