Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
We're led astray, gaslit into complacency
The moral arc of history
It never bends itself towards justice without the blood
Always redacted from the textbook's page
Omit the gasps
The muted mass of peasants
Who swung from ropes
To sway progressive change
The ruling few, the creators
The culture curators
The ones who keep the press on the payroll still
Feed us false notions of progress
To pacify our sense of urgency
Tradition of suppression and social abnegation
Systematic amnesia corroding education
A curriculum designed to retain indoctrination
Conceals our exploitation
Now get the fuck back in line
Get the fuck in Line
Do what the preacher says
Get the fuck in line
Compensatory slaves
Get the fuck in line
We give thanks in God's name
Marvel at the rocket's glare
Tonkin to Haymarket Square
Narrative of progress is a withering facade
Can't observe the patterns from the lessons never taught
Do what the commander says
Never mind the millions dead
Colonize, repress, and kill abroad and here at home
Canonized oppressors get their faces etched in stone
Illusionary freedom
Compensatory slave
The right to choose between Coke and Pepsi
We give thanks in God's name
We're cozy with the hangman
The curriculum, the news
He comforts us with fables so we proudly wear our noose
The moral arc of history
Was never championed obediently
Always bent by the sweat and the blood
Of every dissident lynched by the barons of industry
