You want to take a stand

You haven't made a plan

Your new crusades bring misery

Better know your history


You spot your was 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 dent 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
