Sitting around me I’ve got my whole family   We’ve decided to ban history and the idea of war   There’ll be no books and no TV   No news, no technology   For the first time in history, we’ve outlawed the past      All your trips to the grocery store will never be the same   They’re taking your fingerprints and name   No, it’ll never be the same   But, man, history was lame      We’ve been called allegedly “The United Board of ??”   We’ve been called the cure and a disease but one thing’s for sure   We’ve been asked how we’re so free and have pondered on this frequently   It was easy just to press the delete key and the whole thing was gone and now we’re moving on      All your trips to the Quick-E Mart will never do you harm   There’s nobody bending your arm until you trip the alarm, then I’m bending your arm      All your trips to the grocery store will never be the same   They’re taking your fingerprints and name   No, it’ll never be the same   But, man, history was lame
