Letra de ' Revisionist History Blues ' de Moon Walker

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 the juries are colorblind
And our worst days are long 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
But look away when we get tired
We still salute the war machine
Until the soldiers come back and need somewhere to sleep oh, yeah

This ain't the world you promised me
No 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 trust 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 our own nuclear holocaust

I sell my life for pennies flat
For someone else, I 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 (that's right)
We go down together
When we go down yeah!
When we go down (that's right)
We go down together

Together (alright)
We go down (hey, hey!)
We go down together
Oh, yeah
