Lyrics -
You tell me this never happened I was there I heard the voices We’re supposed to pretend to forget, but refuse to disappear A repeated lie becomes history, search your mind to find a true memory Memory solves the prisoners dilemma Forgiveness tames the world
Liars accuse, fake news, fake camouflage, throw enough till it sticks Though it stinks, it’s all a game for someone like you Smear and shame, play the blame game Fan the flames, higher and higher This is their kind of fire, and it will burn us all down
When we forget about history, when we hide behind lies When resistance is necessary, stand up stand up, stand up When we airbrush our memories, when we staple our smiles When forgiveness is necessary, stand up.
When they painted us as traitors, I almost let myself down Surrender tempting, simple end, outsource morality Losing track of what I’m meant to forget, post-truth, Rationality post-hoc Poster boys deployed with their cheat-sheets, Hotshot faces, scripted gravity
When no-one stands, till someone else stands We’re all complicit, one day stand fast, stand first Set the precedent There’s a future still unwritten, no destiny only choice The world is ours for the making, breaking open the shell, and unlock the voice
