Biography Of A Nation Lyrics

Biography Of A Nation lyrics

write these words back down (write all these words back down)
we have burned
their villages and people in them died
(we have burned their villages all
the people in them died)
we adopt their customs and everything they say we
steal 
(say steal say steal)
still we all sleep sound tonight
is this
what you wanted
this is what you wanted to hear
we erased all their
images and dance
and replaced them with borders (and replaced them with
borders 
and flags)

everything they say, you stole
say, you
stole
say, you stole

at the top of this timeline you'll
remember
this is the lipstick on the collar
and in my own life I've seen
it in the mirror
sometimes at the cost of others hopes

write these
words back down inside
(write these words back down inside)
that's where
you need it the most
(that's where you need it the)
and without
conviction of heart you will never feel it at all
yeah, we all dance to the
same beat when we we're marching
yeah, the tv tells us everything we need

and this scene is painted in all the fashions of the moment
and history
is all the same

everything you say you stole
every dream you dream
you bought
