it's the same old story that was never told again
every bloody page always seemed to get longer
when the news I read was from 1000 years ago
Hitler started war and killing when we saw him on tv
turned the record over just so that we knew the score
Ali and Frazier were the Greatest time and time again
headlines in the paper, how many times did Elvis die
Thatcher, Blair and Gallagher, millionaires heard it all same
didn't I tell you once when you told me twice before
History taught us well as we learned to remind ourselves
Earth is spinning round and I still think it's nice and flat
money is the issue of the big seller on the street
Lucy in the skies with stories that were never sold again
Addidas, puma, and reebok keep running on and on
what a tragic waste when we found the Nuclear bomb
Ethiopia and all its children's starving mouths to feed
segregation took over when Mandela retired in prison
live aid helped the a.i.d.s victims, help us find a cure
Balsara turned to Mercury when he discovered rhapsodies
life is never blamed you see, it's what you learn inside
it's the sea that never ends so leave this land alone

History repeats itself. Nice work, Kevin.
and we must learn from it every day, even if it's from just yesterday. Thanks, WriteBeLight.
Welcome Kevin!
Same headlines for years. When do we change, learn. Nicely done.
we can make a change Augustus, It's just a case of the human race pulling together in a stronger fashion that it already is. Thank you for you comment.
I like your optimism. We all need to play our small parts.
when will we ever learn when its time to change? nice work Kevin. and Happy New Year! ww
Happy New Year to you WW. Because we are so close to our homely comforts we find it nearly impossible to get out and do something for the world. such a same we are mostly stuck at home moaning about everything. life will carry on regardless.
