We Are Scientists - History Repeats Lyrics

I got this whole thing figured out
I guess I'd better write it down, now
'Cause presently my memory's not terribly sound
Everything is twice around now

It shouldn't be this hard, I guess I'm not as smart
As I'd like to think I am
And even though you won't admit it now
I know, you know, I know, you know

I guess it isn't any use
This keeps on coming 'round in twos
If history repeats itself, then what can I do?
Nothing I can say is news to you

It shouldn't be this hard, I guess I'm not as smart
As I'd like to think I am
And even though you won't admit it now
I know, you know, I know, you know

Let's get this calendar straight
I shouldn't try to make sense of anything that goes on
But it goes on
Again and again and again

It shouldn't be this hard, I guess I'm not as smart
As I'd like to think I am
And even though you won't admit it now
I know, you know, I know, you know
