about

acoustic version of the Two Cow Garage song History Now!

lyrics

They say that liberty and justice that should be implied
but the weight of the world
or a history book
is not a truth that you can deny
and they tell you that they want to take their country back
unless you're poor
or you're black
then you're under attack
and you'll be lucky to be under arrest
This is not a test

Cause what if it is up to us
I know its difficult to think about it now
what if it is up to us
to figure how the future all turns out
well, it's History Now!

They tell you it's a subject that you should avoid
until your neighborhood elementary school
is lit up
like celluloid
they tell you that the market should always be free
for the have's not the not's
there's no bottom to the top
and for folks like you and me
its wage slavery

but what if it is up to us
I know its difficult to think about it now
what if it is up to us
to figure how the future all turns out
well, it's History Now!

and every single song on your radio
playing soft and low
says "Baby, don't you worry about the things you can't control"
but, I am fucking worried

because we were all left in control

and what if it is up to us
i know it's difficult to think about it now
what if it is up to us
to figure how the future all turns out
and what if it is up to us
I know its difficult to wrap your mind around
what if it is up to us
to figure how the future all turns out
well, it's History Now!
