The Course of Human History

from Fourth Peter by Short Hand

/

lyrics

Somewhere on a long phone call
A woman is almost done talking
Somewhere in the pauses
She is already jogging
And when she hangs up there’s a panic
What if her voice is just too thin?
In the end it’s the same thought
Again and again and again

I imagine in some churches
There are paintings on the wall
Of fast food restaurants and oligarchs
And women who are twelve feet tall
But in real life it’s just Jesus
With his beard and his droopy chin
And in the end it’s the same show
Again and again and again

The course of human history
Doesn’t fit inside a sedan
And the highway of human misery
Is paved with actual human hands
And while there’s no explanation
For all the very full minivans, man
In the end it’s the same story
Again and again and again
