Based on the Past
Look at what's behind us The past leaves splinters in our arms We try pulling them out Before they do more harm
Our way of life is shaped by The struggles of another The tale no one told our mothers Fabricated by the others
So we go on blind The truth tucked away behind The lies they told to cover up The most heinous of crimes
Well they say history repeats So the world won't go on
The greatest structures on the earth Were built by people worth less than dirt They carried headstones to their graves Dug their own holes with rusted spades
Enslaving people for their gain In mounds of wealth they hid their shame They wiped their hands clean of the dirt Then showed up Sunday at their church Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Thought themselves favored by god Deserving of his love and laud Turned a blind eye, turned a blind eye To everything
You've got your points based on the past Though it's the only thing You lack a grasp on You hypocrite
We fought a pointless fucking war, Both sides refused to see what was More important Than politics
They'll say the past is justified, Expect you to join their side It's all for Their own benefit
They'll say the past is justified, Expect you to just believe the lies They tell you They're full of shit
