lyrics

There’s history books I never read
They turn the living into dead
Repressed everything they said

But winners wrote those history books
And many truths were over looked
I’ve been a saint and I’ve been a crook

Tanks and guns are industries
Like selling drugs and lopping trees
If you think your job makes God pleased

This house is built on dead bodies
Like the media and companies
They spin the slaughter with great ease
For those who watch TV

But television makes you feel
Like medication made the wheel
You could believe in what’s real
