He said history repeats in perpetuity

First as a tragedy, then as a farce

The white trash kids say they like it how it is

Construction jobs bring them lots of cash and early marriages

The catholic kid says he’s keeping it the same

And the mistakes of his parents he’ll carry to his grave

And the Christian kids say it’s how it’s always been

Where the battles lines are clearly drawn between piety and sin

He said lovers of prostitutes are happy, fit, and satisfied

As for me (us), my (our) arms are broken from grasping the clouds
