History - New Model Army

I know that it happened, I know that story
But that was years and years ago
Still you're pushing and still you're claiming
The pound of flesh you say I owe

Ch: We've already paid for it
We've already strung for it
We've already died for it
Why can't you leave us alone?

There is no whitewash, there's no conspiracy
You're not a victim anymore
I know it's easy to be a loser
If you spill acid in your sores

Ch: We've already paid for it . . .

Bring in the hard men, bring in the armoury
If escalation's what you want
Everybody needs an enemy
But I don't want to be yours

Ch: We've already paid for it . . .
