Pick up a gun
If that makes you feel like a man
Put up a flag
And show me you're better than I am
Blow up a town
If that gets you some more land
Wallow in hate
Enjoy it now while you can

'Cause history is on my side
Time will show us who was right
Your children will be mortified
When history is on my side

Put up a wall
Surround yourself with some yes men
Make up some law
So you can scream, but no one else can
Put on a cap
And you remind me of that old clan
Pick up a book
And you will see how the story ends

'Cause history is on my side
Time will show us who was right
Your children will be mortified
When history is on my side

I see the inspiration behind your work
Nothing above your nation
Heard that before
You are this generation's future regrets
Seen this somewhere
Future regrets

History is on my side
Time will show us who was right
Your children will be mortified
When history is on my side
