A People's History Of The World

A People's History Of The World

(album: Less Talk, More Rock - 1996)

At some turning point in history,
Some fuckface recognized
That knowledge tends to democratize
Cultures, societies.
So the only thing to do
Was monopolize and confine it to
Priests, clerics and elites,
The rest resigned to serve.
'Cause if the rabble heard the truth,
They'd organize against
The power, privilege and wealth
Hoarded by the few and no one else.
Did it occur to you,
It's exactly the same today?
So if our schools won't teach us,
We'll teach ourselves to analyze
And understand the systems of thought control.
And share it with each other,
Never swayed by brass rings or by penalties.
I'll promise you, you promise me
Not to sell each other out
To murderers, to thieves,
Who've manufactured our delusion.
That you and me participate
Meaningfully in the process
Of running our own lives.
You can vote however the fuck you want,
But power still calls all the shots.
And, believe it or not,
Even if democracy broke loose,
They'll just make the economy scream
Until we vote responsibly.
