Welcome back
We've been waiting on a maniac
You look a little insomniac
And now you're going to peel the years right back
Peel the years right back
Well you should have been a soldier, you were ready for a fight
But you throw your punches on the page safely out of sight
The best of educations in the good old fashioned way
Tell 'em what they need don't let the facts get in the way

You might say that it's all institutional
And I'm a little over tired and emotional
Some day you may be all held accountable
Dehumanise, propagandise and history repeats

And history repeats 
And history repeats

One day a rain will come and wash the scum right off the streets
Like every psychopath you have no grasp of empathy

My oh my
What a criminal twisted lie
Your fooling half the people all the time
There's even less to you than meets the eye
You're over amplified

And nothing really changes maybe better the devil you know
But they're slowly creeping in on the right and they're ready to steal the show
They raise a flag they claim to own and shed a noble tear
They spark the fire, crawl under the wire and swiftly disappear

You might say that it's all institutional
And I'm a little over tired and emotional
Some day you may be all held accountable
Dehumanise, propagandise and history repeats
And history repeats
And history repeats
And history repeats 
And history repeats

One day a rain will come and wash the scum right off the streets
Like every psychopath you have no grasp of empathy
Defend the status quo you know it must not be disputed
And to protect yourself you try to keep the stupid stupid

And history repeats
And history repeats

One day a rain will come and wash the scum right off the streets
Like every psychopath you have no grasp of empathy
Defend the status quo you know it must not be disputed
And to protect yourself you try to keep the stupid stupid

You try to keep the stupid stupid
You try to keep the stupid stupid
