“History is an angel being blown backwards into the future
History is a pile of debris
And the angel wants to go back and fix things
To repair the things that have been broken

Are we there yet?
Are we there yet
Now how we gonna get there, we don’t even have boats
And how we gonna get there when we’re not winning votes
We will never get there while the pollys speak their spokes

And people in the middle who don’t wanna know what happened
