Past experience tells me I should forget

Yet there are things we should remember

But not the times of blood, tears and sweat.

And mans stupidity and greed lingers yet

But this is all laid aside each November

Past experience tells me I should forget

That I was not there, I do not regret

And yet am proud to be called digger

But not the times of blood, tears and sweat.

There are memories of a shared cigarette

Death came with the third burning ember

Past experience tells me I should forget

Every decade world leaders refuse to commit

Whilst wall street remains the moneygrubber

But not the times of blood, tears and sweat.

For the lessons learned we are in their debt

The guilty and the greedy mentally slumber.

Past experience tells me I should forget

But not the times of blood, tears and sweat.
