Lyrics

[Intro – light guitar plucking]
Some say humanity evolves... (hahaha)
But if history had a comment section?
Yeah. We’ve always been like this.

{Verse 1 – Nanni’s Tablet}
🎶 Long ago in Mesopotamia,
Nanni said, “Yo, what’s this scam?”
Bad copper, worse service, pure rage—
He etched the first complaint in a clay tablet page. 🎶

I was treated with contempt! I demand better copper!
🎶 First known bad review—
Sumerian pettiness shining through. 🎶


---

{Verse 2 – Pompeii Graffiti}
🎶 Pompeii’s walls, frozen in ash,
Hold insults, butts, and bathroom trash.
No wisdom, no class—just “ROMA BLOWS,”
And “I peed here” in poetic prose. 🎶

I screwed the barmaid. Beware of Marcus.
🎶 Eternal proof of chaotic bliss.
People? Always been like this. 🎶


---

{Verse 3 – Medieval Marginalia}
🎶 Monks copying sacred text,
Drew rabbits with swords when stressed.
“Dear God,” they wrote, “this script is bland,”
And left fart jokes with their holy hand. 🎶

This parchment is thin. My hand is tired.
🎶 Even pious minds couldn’t resist…
A little chaos in the margins like this. 🎶


---

{Verse 4 – Socrates on Youth}
🎶 Socrates ranted, “Youth today—
Rude, lazy, gone astray!”
Every elder’s favorite hiss:
“These kids today—don’t know sh*t.” 🎶

They disrespect elders. No self-control!
🎶 Ancient Greece or Facebook thread—same gist.
Because people? Always been like this. 🎶


---

{Verse 5 – Renaissance Science Beef}
🎶 Newton dropped laws and apple tales,
But also beefed with Hooke through veiled snails.
“I see further,” he coolly hissed—
But we all know that was a scientist diss. 🎶

If I have seen further… it’s by standing on giants.
🎶 Renaissance shade, scientific twist.
Petty’s not new. It always exists. 🎶


---

{Verse 6 – 1800s Panic}
🎶 In 1890, a guy proclaimed,
Dancing would send us up in flames.
“The waltz is sin! The youth are doomed!”
Every gen thinks the world’s consumed. 🎶

These dances are a disgrace! Society will fall!
🎶 From jazz to TikTok, it’s the same old gist—
‘Cause people? Always been like this. 🎶


---

{Bridge – Spoken}
We invented writing... to complain.
We built temples... and drew penises.
We created philosophy... and ranted about teens.
We made science... and took petty credit.
We made fire... and used it to roast.


---

{Final Chorus – group clapping}
🎶 People have always been like this,
Petty and dramatic with a passive twist.
We don’t evolve, we just adapt—
From carving on stone to digital clapbacks. 🎶

🎶 Ancient burns, modern hiss—
Humanity’s brand? Eternal chaos bliss.
From ash to ink to online fits...
We’ve always been like this. 🎶

[End strum. Silence. Faint laughter.]
