The Smooths - History's Burning

Soft feeling coming over me
I'm in a melody
Sit ‘pon the mountain top and watch the day
Shadows fall on the site down below
Another show of mother nature’s sweet way
I feel the drop of the water down my face
Now it erased a harmful thought of mine
Washed away that unconsciousness
That state of bliss no longer fine

And so it’s time and so it’s time to burn those history books
No, can’t take an instance, can’t take an instance to stand still and look
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse to be part of your final scheme
Just kick out the fire, move on, move on this life machine

A separate instant situation leads to formulation of the notion to go and seek shelter
Mr. Oak Tree he stands and covers me to keep my body dry, but soul still felt her
No time to weep in a furious tone, I'm not alone, gotta keep on moving
The ground is soft underneath
It squeezes through my feet and so I’ve got to follow through

And so it’s time and so it’s time to burn those history books
No, can’t take an instance, can’t take an instance to stand still and look
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse to be part of your final scheme
Just kick out the fire, move on, move on this life machine

Soul searching wonderment inside, I feel through and let it slide
Between the good and evil within me
An understanding left alone to turn and organ back to stone, to tell a man to travel on
Slow motion wind kicks up the ground, the dust blows up and swirls around
The thought of me tumbling downward
I see your face break in the clouds, the storm rolls on the rumble loud
To tell me it’s time to go

And so it’s time and so it’s time to burn those history books
No, can’t take an instance, can’t take an instance to stand still and look
I refuse, I refuse, I refuse to be part of your final scheme
Just kick out the fire, move on, move on, move onnn

Oh, it is time, yes it is time
It’s time to burn, to burn, to burn those history books
No time to stand still and just look
We’ve got to move on, move on, move on
Oh, I refuse, yes I refuse
To be part of your final scheme
Kick out the fire, kick out fire
