The History Of The World Lyrics - Gang Of Four

When I was in my mothers womb 

Social structure seemed a simple thing 

After birth I cursed my luck 

Then went down to breakfast 

What I know fills me up 

It is an everlasting cup 

What I believe will never change 

My consolation for the night 

Mother had for me an egg 

I understood the relations of production 

She always provided for me 

That's where I lost my naivety ? 

Stability is in my mind 

I associate with my kind 

Charity, it fills my heart 

To help the poor in Africa 

[Chorus: x6] 

Good, yes, you've done well 

Here is a small prize 

The history of the world
