randall kirk jones - there's no way to undo what's been done lyrics

i’ve talked with monks, nihilists, mormons, and flat earthers
and the most important lesson learned in my life’s first quarter
is that there’s a piece of me somewhere in just about anybody
and this inability to see yourself in others
cornerstones all conflict in one way or another
but how could i look at the past and think i’d have done any better
so to the worst of human history
all i can do is surrender

cause there’s no way to undo what’s been done
the crematoriums have been filled
and we’ve seen what happens when we split the atom
all that remains is to carve out some way to live with this

and if the people of the past could only see us today
dear god
the tribal tattoos
fake plants
and running just to stay in shape
some would probably take their chances
being chased by wild dogs in the savannah

though it’s dangerously easy to think that by contrast
we’ve transcended that homicidal past
in a century or two
they’ll have a long list to look back and laugh at
and i hope they’re kind enough to have a sense of humor
when they look back

no
but there’s no way to undo what’s been done
the tide slowly swallowing the coast
our monuments built atop slaughtered bones
all that remains is to carve out some way to live with this
