Lyrics
You thought you'd set the bar,

I'd never tried to work it out

We just lit the fire and now you want to put it out

You gave it all you got,

and what you've got is not a lot

Why don't you hand it over,

time is up, you've had your shot

Gather once again,

disasters in the end,

it's like a default



You thought you'd made the grade,

all you made will start to fade

We threw it in the fire,

it's better that it not remain

You just brought together,

didn't seem to have the heart

Wheels are coming off now,

knew that it would fall apart

Take one for the team you're a cog in the machine,

it's like a default



Take one for the team you're a cog in the machine,

it's like a default



You've missed the starting gun,

for everything you've ever done

You took part in the race,

but disappeared without a trace

You thought you'd set the bar,

I'd never tried to work it out

We just lit the fire and now you want to put it out

Forget about the cause,

press rewind then stop and pause

It's like a default



Forget about the cause,

press rewind then stop and pause

It's like a default

I'M BACK I'M BACK and I'm so happy. I have wanted a Drunk History vid SO BAD and I genuinely had no idea how anyone would manage to pull it off given the source but you did a freaking amazing job!! I love how you go back and forth between the reenactments and the drunk storytellers, just like the show does, keeping that "history on booze!!" feel and with the opening clip from the show credits perfectly establishing the show premise for people who might have no idea wtf is going on before drunkenly unspooling it all. And it's so fun, and the editing is so great, I love the rhythm of it and the shots you pulled and the motion timing. AND I LOVE THAT YOU MADE THIS VID DRUNK. My hat is off to you, vidder. You were committed and you did amazing. Thank you so much.

(P.S. I freaking love the credits, and that clip of the dude being abandoned by his cat is such a perfect one to use on "for trelkez" that either you know me and my life or made a random choice that was dead accurate.)
