[Verse 1]
Well, ain't it a shame
'bout our short little memory?
Never seem to learn
The lessons of history
We keep making the same mistakes
Over and over and over and over again
And then we wonder why
We're in the shape we're in
Good old boys down at the bar
Peanuts and politics
They think they know it all
They don't know much of nothing
Even if one of them was to read a newspaper
Cover-to-cover
That ain't what's going on
Journalism dead and gone
[Chorus]
Frail grasp on the big picture
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Dark ages
[Verse 2]
You, my love-drunk friend
All that red wine and candlelight
Soulful conversations
That go on until the dawn
How many times can you tell your story?
How many hangovers can you endure
Just to get some snuggling done?
Well, ain't it a shame
'bout our short little memory?
Never seem to learn
The lessons of history
We keep making the same mistakes
Over and over and over and over again
And then we wonder why
We're in the shape we're in
Good old boys down at the bar
Peanuts and politics
They think they know it all
They don't know much of nothing
Even if one of them was to read a newspaper
Cover-to-cover
That ain't what's going on
Journalism dead and gone
[Chorus]
Frail grasp on the big picture
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Dark ages
[Verse 2]
You, my love-drunk friend
All that red wine and candlelight
Soulful conversations
That go on until the dawn
How many times can you tell your story?
How many hangovers can you endure
Just to get some snuggling done?
