[Verse 1]
I thought you needed help
I thought they had you cornered
I didn't mean to come on strong
I only meant to warn you
The cash meant nothing to me
I'd have stayed in California

[Verse 2]
I've provided you with memories
I've airbrushed all your photos
I’ve undercut the basic wage
And outbid the promoters
But nothing's real important
'Cause I've paid off all the voters

[Chorus]
It's history and it's in the remaking
It's the sound of a big old lie and nerves breaking
It's a pleasure to be savoured and it's painstaking
And it's history in the remaking
In the remaking

[Verse 3]
There's nothing really happening
At the conventional convention
Everyone agrees that there's
A stark lack of dissension
And a couple of little genocides
That barely rate a mention
[Chorus]
And it's history and it's in the remaking
It's the sound of a big old lie and nerves breaking
It's the sequel to a movie that was box office breaking
And it's history in the remaking
In the remaking

[Verse 4]
The masters playing Risk
While all the slaves, they play Monopoly
It doesn't really matter
If it's fake or real property
And you will only realize
When you start playing properly

[Chorus]
It's history and it's in the remaking
It's the sound of a big old lie and nerves breaking
It's a pleasure to be savoured and it's painstaking
And it's history in the remaking
In the remaking

[Bridge]
I hate you with a passion and I love you with a vengeance
I'll rewrite truth just one more time while I sit in detention
But I'd give my right arm to see you in three dimensions
[Chorus]
It's history and it's in the remaking
It's the sound of a big old lie and nerves breaking
It's a pleasure to be savoured and it's painstaking
It's the sequel to a movie that was box office breaking
Doesn't it sound a little like "Eve of Destruction?"
I guess it kinda does
'Cause it's history in the remaking
In the remaking

[Outro]
History in the remaking
History in the remaking
