Testo Revisionist History Blues - Moon Walker
Testo della canzone Revisionist History Blues (Moon Walker), tratta dall'album Is This The World You Wanted?
Two, Three, Four
The world ain't how it used to be
When I was watching it on the TV screen
When I went to school they taught to me
A revisionist version of history
Where MLK was never shot by the FBI
And every war we've ever been in was justified
Where the judges and jury's are colorblind
And our worst days are all left behind
But that is not the world I see
When I look at what's right in front of me
The cops keep killing and we all watch
They get two weeks of paid time off
We all still watch the genocide
And look away when we get tired
We still solute the war machine
Until the soldiers come back and need somewhere to sleep
Oh yeah
This ain't the world you promised me
You know it's nothing like you said it'd be
We live to work
Until we work to death
For a CEO we've never met
They said everyone trusts the government
'cause criminals can't be president
And politicians only represent
The people who elected them
But that is not the world I see
When I look at what's right in front of me
The poor stay poor
And then drop dead
The rich get richer off their blood and sweat
Everyone gets an atom bomb
The people cheer and clap along
As the show begins
The fever starts
It's a whole nuclear holocaust
I sell my life
For pennies flat
For someone else
I'll break my tired back
If I'm leaving
You're coming too
Before I go down
I'm getting you
Everybody!
When we go down
When we go down
(Go down)
We go down, together
(Aahhh!)
When we go down
(Yeah-ah)
When we go down
(Yeah-ah-ha)
We go down, together
(Ah, Ah, Ahh!)
Together
(Alright)
We go down
(Yeah, yeah)
We go down
Together
Alright!
