A Peoples History Of The Wold 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,
cuz 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.
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
