lyrics

I know more about history than anyone
So here's a history class
I'm gonna teach you a lesson
Get medieval on your ass

Before they invented rocks and stones
Before they invented steel
Cavemen fought with dinosaurs
And invented the wheel

Why don't you ask them who's doing all the crimes?
Why don't you tell them it's the New York Times
You'll get so lonely
Making up history
It ain't you only
You got something to say?

The wheel is older than the wall
The wheel is older than the wall

The Romans and Egyptians
Invented the house
America was discovered
By Mickey Mouse

In the beginning was the word
And the word was guns, right?
Before they invented colour
Everything was black and white

Why don't you ask them what they are gonna do
Why don't you tell them you invented irn bru
You'll get so lonely
When they lock you away
It ain't you only
You got something to say?

The wheel is older than the wall
The wheel is older than the wall
