Rifftera - Two Sides of the Story

Two sides
two truths
both lies so which one you choose?
Wrong-headed exaggeration
tearing down a whole nation
seeds of wasting dread
propaganda fucks up your head
these little psychopaths
incessantly rant their rabid wrath

rant their rabid wrath
heading down the warpath
as sure as the sun will rise

time after time
history repeats itself
the same mistakes
revived again and again

incite
agitate
wait that prey will rise to the bait
pathetic provocation
in the hope of reaction
condemn
criticize
doesn't matter if you're wrong or right
as a better human being
entitled to radical means

to radical means
behind the smoke screen
as sure as the sun will rise

time after time
history repeats itself
the same mistakes
revived again and again
all that we learned
all the lessons from the past
forgotten or ignored
from first to last

when the smoke clears and fight is over
another shall erupt
we are standing on the giants' shoulders
ears covered and eyes shut
forever lost

the best laid plans of mice and men always go awry
turning to sand oasis disappears
as time passes the two sides of the story
won't matter anymore
they were both wrong

arm up
we must
separate the wheat from the chaff
you are with us or against us
can you feel the bloodlust?
Outbreak
downfall
this will be settled once and for all
you live and die by the sword
you're just a game piece on a board

game piece on a board
you are what you abhor
as sure as the sun will rise
it will set again

time after time
history repeats itself
the same mistakes
revived again and again
all that we learned
all the lessons from the past
forgotten or ignored
from first to last

when the smoke clears and fight is over
another shall erupt
we are standing on the giants' shoulders
ears covered and eyes shut
forever
