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
|
(Oh) Lockdown, lockdown, here we go again
|
|
Foreign aid with strings attached
|
Cut down on the working class
|
The World Bank creeps
|
In sheep's clothing
|
Better know your history
|
|
The masses, so deaf and blind
|
We're back 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
|
