Nothing New Under The Sun

from Organized Shame by Drunken Choir

lyrics

I drink my beer lukewarm like the English do
And I milk the cows every morn before I go to school
I go to sleep on a covered ash bed, it keeps me strong and straight
I go to church when I can’t go to sleep, its always been that way

What has been will be again, has a life has an end
There is nothing new under the sun

I take a bath once a month even if I don’t need one
I make maple syrup from the sap of trees just like father told me
I plow the fields on the family farm, eat potatoes off the ground
I keep quiet at the dinner table, keep opinions to myself

What has been will be again, has a life has an end
There is nothing new under the sun

I met a girl in town today at the main street general store
She made me laugh and I made her cry but we made up in the dark
We fell in love behind two horses on a slay in the snow
We got married in an open field with everyone we know

What has been will be again, has a life has an end
There is nothing new under the sun
What has been will be again, has a life has an end
There is nothing new under the sun
