History of Time
History of Time
Wind up your watches
Lets hear them tick
Seconds, minutes, hours
Time, date, day, year
The history auditors are here
They review, and revise
But always without fail, they omit the truth
They magnify the lies
Old money, is never guilty of any crime
The laws were different, in their time
But they're still the masters
The history auditors dance to their tune
Women forgotten, never venerated
Weak men obsessed with power and greed
To be always hailed as a daring breed
Wind up your watches
Lets hear them tick
Seconds, minutes, hours
The history auditors are here
You won't be remembered
Unless you belong to the right club
The passage of time an edited story
To re-enforce the merits of vanity
Wind up your watches
lets hear them tick
This is the history auditors at play
And Knowing ignorance works of pay
