Oh, our history
We seem to have forgotten
There’s someone out there
Right now plotting
Because they feel
They’ve been deputized
To shoot someone
Between their eyes

And if history
Can indeed become prologue
Then someone’s bound
To go in whole hog
And attempt to correct
The wrong that they see
No matter who
That happens to be

So those who insist
On stirring up the crowd
Had better be careful about
What they say out loud
Because someone is bound to try it
Once they’ve been incited to riot
And if you don’t want blood on your hands
Better do what decorum demands

See it isn’t those
We’ve been led to believe
Who are secretly plotting
And feeling aggrieved
It’s easy to predict
What they have up their sleeve
If history is prologue
And we’re not naïve
