History Lesson Lyrics

  Send "History Lesson" Ringtone to your Cell  

In the museums and in the schools

Displays of "primitive" kinds and their tools

Primitive because they couldn't stand

up to the machine of "civilized" man

So we grind their bones up in to dust

because they're not like us

Dig 'em up and put 'em under glass

We're safe now that they're past

Exterminate them because we hate them

because they won't bow down to our gods

Money and science and power and blood

Shed as we bulldoze them in to the mud!

Fear's the real reason we rape their lands

Scared 'cause we can't hope to understand

Scared 'cause they don't need our names to be

or need what we think makes us free

So we try to make them what we are

'cause we've come so far

If they resist they die in the name of progress - but we could care less

'cause to us they're not human

They might as well be lizards under rocks

But did you ever think they don't learn

Just because they don't need to be taught

our kind of history lesson?!?!
