Violation by Fifteen Lyrics
Ohh shit!
(History is a lie)
In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue
For love of God and me and you
No!
In 1941 we intervened to stop the spread of, of world fascism
No!
Listen up, boys and girls
It's the history of the whole world
You know it's true
No!
Six million Jews, they call it genocide
A hundred million Native Americans
What an unfortunate price for today's quality of life
All people, every person experiences violation
When told what is right, told what is wrong
Told what to do under the threat of violent intimidation
Virus kills us now, virus kills us then
Over and over and again and again
Virus kills us now, virus kills us then
Over and over and again and again
When the sun goes down in my town
Berkeley, California sold me on too many dreams
Of justice and brotherhood
When the sun goes down in my town
Berkeley, California sold me on too many dreams
Of peace on the Earth in our time
In 1969 my forefathers said, "Stop!
This land is hers and his and, and yours and mine"
In 1992 Rosebud sailed the sky so blue
Gave her life for me and you
And all people, every person experiences violation
When told what is right and told what is wrong
And told what to do under the threat of violent intimidation
Bullets kill us now, bullets kill us then
Over and over and again and again
Bullets kill us now, bullets kill us then
Over and over and again and again
When the sun goes down in my town
When the sun goes down in my town
But I believe in me
I make my dreams real
I believe in me
I make my dreams real
(History is a lie)
