A People's History Of The World Lyrics

At some turning point in history,
some fuckface recognized that knowledge tends to democratize
cultures and 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- for no one else. And did it occur to you that
it's almost exactly the same today?
And so if our schools won't teach us,
we'll have to teach ourselves to analyze and understand
the systems of thought-control.Propaghandi - A People's History Of The World - http://motolyrics.com/propaghandi/a-peoples-history-of-the-world-lyrics.html
And share it with each other,
never sayed by brass rings or the threat of penalty.
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. Yeah, you can vote however the fuck
you want, but power still calls all the shots.
And believe it or not, even if
(real) democracy broke loose,
power could/would just "make the economy scream" until we vote responsibly.
