Intro: Bm Bm Bm E Bm Well, ain't it a shame Bm That our short little memories Bm Never seem to learn E The message of history Bm We keep makin' the same mistakes Bm Over and over and over and over again Bm And then we wonder why E We're in the shape we're in Bm Good ol' boys down at the bar Bm Peanuts and politics Bm They think they know it all E They don't know much of nothing Bm Even if one of them was to read the newspaper Bm Cover-to-cover Bm That ain't what's going on E Journalism's dead and gone Bm Frail grasp on the big picture Bm G A Light fading and the fog is getting thicker Bm
