Know Your History Lyrics - Ignite

You want to take a stand 

You haven't made a plan 

Your new crusades bring misery 

Better know your history 

You spot your war disease 

Bring this nation to its knees 

The largest debt we've ever seen 

Better know your history 

Under the burning sun 

Another dead hero 

This road we're walking on 

To reap what we have sown 

(Oh) Lockdown, lockdown, here we go again 

Foreign aid with strings attached 

Cut down on the working class 

The World Bank creeps 

In sheep's clothing 

Better know your history 

The masses, so dent and blind 

We're back to the Roman times 

The truth is now the enemy 

Better know your history 

My family lived through both regimes 

The rising tide of lies and mass deceit 

They'll tell you what to think 

And what to say Know your history 

You send the poor to fight 

Then praise the religious right 

A sacrilegious blasphemy 

Better know your history 

An empire of greedy thieves 

Bring the nation to its knees 

The new world corporatocracy 

Better know your history 

History 

For the past to repeat 

Is your destiny 

History 

I know we're going to pay 

To history
