WWII

They lied to me and they lied to you Lied to us all about World War II What if half the things you thought you knew Was actually lies and the lies were the truth What if all the guilt that they made you feel Was fiction but the implications were real What else would they hide, what else would they do When they lied to us about World War II, yeah Lessons 'bout evil we learned from the war They start right after the Holodomor They'll show you the bodies and they'll show you the shoes Will they show you the orchestras and swimming pools Will they talk about the Weimar age The ethical, national, moral decay How the good guys turned Dresden to crumbs Or just about how your grandpa's scum What if it turns out degenerate filth Ain't a foundation on which you can build And the boogeyman that they propagate Started from love more than from hate What would happen if the puppet said To the ventriloquist, 'Hey, get out of my head' How many truths do they legislate What's the dog they're keeping in the crate It's kinda got me wondering If we're free If we're free And now it's got me wondering Yeah, it's kinda got me wondering If we're free No blood, no hate, but we need to be real I need 'am,' I don't need 'feel' We need Truth with a capital T Not permission to speak on it honestly They've got us gaslit from cradle to grave Be a narrative slave and they'll call you brave Just don't pipe up and start filling your head With thoughts about Patton and what he said Don't put subtitles on the speech And start doing math that you know's a reach Play the fool or you can't play at all They make the rules and they own your balls No one wants to hiss at the head of the snake Even well past the point we should've hit the brakes We all see that the West is fucked Do we dare be anything but cucked It's kinda got me wondering Yeah, it's kinda got me wondering If we're free Well, let's see Let's see If we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free Let's see if we're really free
