Lyrics

We read their textbooks
With caution we flamed their pages burnt
Suspecting who holds the pen
Two sides to lies
Two truths
Imagine a curriculum that teaches kids to think instead of just be taught
No wonder there are so many sleep in the streets:
I thought lamb-chops was dead...1917 is still used to kill our hope
Not that bull shit dictatorship
Secret police
No justice no trials just suspect

A bullet branded authority
Five-hundred anarchists sitting on their knees (executed for what they believe)
That's not camaraderic to me
Our heroes pass we still cheer on
But were they really heroes?
Battle in the ukraine to control the party
Scare them subordiante: terror terror state inflicted

What is modern state terror?
Bush and cnn
He asked me if police and armed forces were mechanisms of minority rule
State control out of control
She asked him if fear and propaganda always will drivert a people's revolt
History class's evil twin
Revolt. "yeah...i may dream but at least I'm not dead like you."
They want fair reparations for history contested
One students search for a fair historical document
