Labor and Management Karl Marx said labor and management Have nothing in common, you see Groucho said if you walk and talk like a duck You’ve had too much to drink Engels nodded Zeppo agreed Vlad Lenin said we gotta kill The royal family John Lennon just said shake yer jewelry Stalin said, sounds cool Ringo shook his jewelry too {chorus} History tends to repeat itself If don’t pay attention, it’s true History tends to repeat itself And that shit catches up with you Eric Burdon sang about a house Of the rising sun Richard Burton loved Liz A bit too much but they had themselves some fun {add strong guitar solo bridge} [chorus} History tends to repeat itself If don’t pay attention, it’s true History tends to repeat itself And that shit catches up with you Karl, Groucho, Vlad and John Stalin and Ringo too Eric, Richard Liz on her own All played hardball too {chorus} History is as history does No one can deny Education ain’t a waste of time As so many do decry If you pay attention And listen close You may one day see Life makes more sense When you understand the past more adequately.
