Lyrics:

History's so strong

History's so strong

History's so strong

History's so strong



Sing another drinking song the honkytonk will do

Making another breaking bone your favorite ingenue

This the distant dawn

This the distant dawn



I put my cards upon the table

I do this because I am able

One picks his broken down devotion

I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation

Shine at the police station

And when the verdict comes round

I'm sure that you will go down



CHORUS:

Stay all night

we'll save the population

Stay all night

we'll save the population

Stay all night

we'll save the population

Stay all night

we'll save the population



(Instrumental Bridge)



Pistol and its pawn

Sell it to the lexicon

A pistol and its pawn

Blood and border lines be drawn



Take another bottle down the brothel and the shrew

Make another awful sound, a rather gothic brew

History's so strong

History's so strong



I put my cards upon the table

I do this because I am able

One picks his broken down devotion

I threw my pistol in the ocean

Eyes wide with revelation

Shine at the police station

And when the verdict comes round

I'm sure that you will go down



Stay all night we'll save the population....
