  • What're you asking me for it's not my goddamn history
    What do you hope to find here there's nothing left as you can see
    When the beatings all began we begun to scream and run
    But the current pulled us down and the smallest ones would drown
    Now we sit and drink all day and sing their songs of praise

    What're you asking me for it's not my goddamn history
    What do you hope to find here there's nothing left as you can see
    There was something in the waves they were right to take our place
    We were broken one by one by the angels in the sun
    Now we sit and drink all day telling tales of yesterday
    And it always ends the same

    What're you asking me for it's not my goddamn history
    What do you hope to find here I thought I made it crystal clear?

    You learned a lot about the art of contradiction
    You learned a lot about the company we keep
    We learned a lot about what keeps us all together and with you
    Until the end

    What're you asking me for?
    What're you asking me for?
    What're you asking me for? (it's not my goddamn history)
    What're you asking me for? (it's not my goddamn history)
    What're you asking me for? (it's not my goddamn history)
    What're you asking me,
    Let the beatings now begin. Writer/s: Jesse Mack Johnson, Joshua Allen Cain, Justin C Pierre, Matthew Scott Taylor, Tony Richard Thaxton
