Ignite - Know Your History lyrics

You want to take a stand You haven't made a plan But your new crusades bring misery Better know your history You spot your war 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 lockdown, lockdown, here we go again Foreign aid with strings attached Cut down the working cla** The World Bank creeps In sheep's clothing Better know your history The ma**es, so deaf and blind We're back to the Roman times The truth is now the enemy Better know your history Under the burning sun Another dead hero This road we're walking on To reap what we have sown lockdown, lockdown, here we go again My family lived through both regimes The rising tide of lies and ma** 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 corruptocracy Better know your history History, history For the past to repeat Is your destiny History, history I know we're going to pay To history
