Autobiography Of A Nation Lyrics - Full Collapse - Thursday

Write these words back down inside 

We have burned their villages and all the people in them died 

And we adopt their customs and everything they say we steal 

All the dreams they had we kill 

Still we all sleep sound tonight 

Is this what you wanted to hear? 

We erased all their images and dance 

And replaced them with borders and flags 

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 

That's where you need it the most and without conviction of heart 

You will never feel it at all 

Yeah, we all dance to the same beat when we're marching 

Yeah, the TV tells us everything we need 

And this scene is painting in all the fashions 

Of the moment and history is all the same 

Everything you say you stole 

Every dream you dream you bought
