lyrics

History

There will be time to assess the crimes
From how many angles can you tell a lie
For now we need answers to the damage done
Swing around this unprecedented blight
Sift through the ashes, spread out the smoldering pile

There was the war that ended them all
Before you knew it the Nazis walked tall
Who says history never repeats
When old men in suits drum in the beat
No surprise when some of us can barely read

The sick, the weak, the destitute
What are you gonna do about it
The corrupt, the greedy, the criminal
What are you gonna do about that
The war and the death of innocents
What are you gonna do about it
The terror that’s real and the terror that’s fake
What are you gonna do about that
The outresourcing and the national debt
What are you gonna do about it
Politics with a religious bent
What are you gonna do about that

There is the guideline and there is the law
One aims to protect, one’s for control
We play with various forms of slavery
Sweeping from torture to psychology
Maybe it’s time to rewrite this parody

The sick, the weak, the destitute…
