Burn Your History – Paul Haullussy (© 2020)

There is something going on
About a time long being gone
About colony and slave
From the birth to the grave
People are to make their excuse
For over 300 years of abuse
You know that’s a goddamn shame
Is there anyone to blame, ‘cause

Romans and Greeks had slaves
Rich black men had black slaves
The old Egyptians had slaves too
So had the Christian, Muslim and Jew, now

Burn your history
It won’t solve your misery
Burn your history
Make it your own fantasy
Burn your history
Wipe the global memory
Burn your history
Then find another enemy

Keep remembering the story
Of richness, pain, and glory
It was another time and place
Concerned the entire human race
We cannot change the past
Why being an iconoclast
We must take another look
And rewrite the history book, ‘cause

Romans and Greeks had slaves
Rich black men had black slaves
The old Egyptians had slaves too
So had the Christian, Muslim and Jew, so

Burn your history
It won’t solve your misery
Burn your history
Make it your own fantasy
Burn your history
Wipe the global memory
Burn your history
Then find another enemy

Now put things in perspective
That’s the only way effective
Respect, it’s all about that
It is time to look ahead

Burn your history
It won’t solve your misery
Burn your history
Make it your own fantasy
Burn your history
Wipe the global memory
Burn your history
Then find another enemy
