Ain't Asking For Much

It doesn't matter who said it It doesn't matter much whose fault it was It won't change a thing 'bout what you've got If you haven't learned the lesson that it taught History repeats itself all the time Ignorance defeats itself every time If you don't learn from your mistakes you're bound to repeat 'em If you're unaware of your enemies, how will you beat 'em? It doesn't matter who asked who for what And I don't care if you're right or wrong There's enough commotion out there without this But without this I don't get to write this song History repeats itself all the time Ignorance defeats itself every time If you don't learn from your mistakes you're bound to repeat 'em If you run from your enemies, how can you defeat 'em? Clean air and drinkable water (Ain't asking for much) Living in a land without war (Ain't asking for much) Honour and respect for all creeds (Ain't asking for much) Even though your skin may be thin, Respect the skin I'm in Having a home that is safe and warm (Ain't asking for much) Trading my time for enough to make it fair (Ain't asking for much) Looking after people that can't help themselves (Ain't asking for much) Why can't we "do unto others as we would have them do unto us?"
