Текст песни: The Great Lie + перевод

Nights over the books, revising for an example

Dates, quotes and heroes, black on white up there

They told you about the years of power and war

Instilling you the idea of evil against the good

Hanged on the walls are the portraits of them

The founding fathers, all the virtuous men

We kneel down to them, we pay our respect

We choose to be the righteous, the good side on the field

Think back on executions, each murdering attack

How this is the line between a rebel and a terrorist?

Did they tell you the same lies you’re listening on TV

Iraq, Afghanistan, ISIS or Russia?

What if it all hadn’t happened in this way?

We are the sons of hundred years of injustice

This generation is the one and only proof

That we won all the wars, but we were so wrong

Only the winners write down the past

The losers are hanged or battered to death

Shot in cold blood, execute by squads

The great lie of history

The great lie of history

is history itself

It’s said that it’s the paradox of democracy

Is people united to choose a dictatorship

But isn’t this what we all do

Every four years with a card and a pen?

We elect the least worst between two autocrats

We follow him and we bring him up there

And when he loses or begins to falls

We change our side and rewrite our past

I had an illusions: a world growing faster

New voices speaking, brand new mass medias

A word where you can know almost everything

And choose to believe or distrust it all

For a bog-standard take there are other viewpoints

You just have to plumbs the depth of’em all

But then I realized that all this is useless

Cause the are only a few who want to know
