Know Your History Songtext / Lyric

You want to take a stand

You haven't made a plan

Your new crusades bring misery

Better know your history



You spot your war disease

Bring this nation to its knees

The largest debt we've ever seen

Better know your history



Under the burning sun

Another dead hero

This road we're walking on

To reap what we have sown

A lockdown, here we go again



Foreign aid with strings attached

Cut down the working class

The World Bank creeps in sheep's clothing

Better know your history






The masses, so deaf and blind

Back down to the Roman times

The truth is now the enemy

Better know your history



My family lived through both regimes

The rising tide of lies and mass deceit

They'll tell you what to think and what to say

Know your history



You send the poor to fight

Then praise the religious right

A sacrilegious blasphemy

Better know your history



An empire of greedy thieves

Bring the nation to its knees

The new world corporatocracy

Better know your history



History

For the past to repeat

Is your destiny

History

I know we're going to pay

To history
