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
