BOY SETS FIRE lyrics : "The Tyranny Of What Everyone Knows"

The pooling of blood From your neck to the floor Makes a
beautiful trophy To parade and even the score Their words in
stone of persuasion in sound Fall on open ears And sewn shut

mouth taught the answers Ignored the questions As we vomit choke
and die Truth is truth is lie As history portrays this time Truth
is truth is blind Their money pays for the transcripts we sign

Derailed from birth designed to serve Everyone knows the
solution to the problems We bought Credentials unneeded decide
for you The books are written our choice is proof.

We are taught that Christopher Columbus discovered America. From
the American Revolution to the Civil War, history is written from
the biased perspective of the power elite. From our birth we are

told lies and myths and expected not to only believe them, but
to worship them at America's false altar of progress. We must
learn to question history and measure each "fact" on its own

merits. (Please read Howard Zinns "A People's History of the
United States" and/or Noam Chomsky's "What Uncle Sam Really
Wants
