A People's History Of The World

At some turning point in history,
some fuckface recognized that knowledge tends to 
democratize cultures and societies
so the only thing to do was monopolize and confine it to 
priests,
clerics and elites (the rest resigned to serve),
cuz if the rabble heard the truth they'd organize against 
the power,
privilege and wealth hoarded by the few- for no one else.
And did it occur to you that it's almost exactly the same 
today?
And so if our schools won't teach us,
we'll have to teach ourselves to analyze and understand the
 systems of thought-control.
And share it with each other,
never sayed by brass rings or the threat of penalty.
I'll promise you- you promise me-
not to sell each other out to murderers, to thieves...
who've manufactured our delusion that you and me 
participate meaningfully in the process of running our own 
lives.
Yeah, you can vote however the fuck you want,
but power still calls all the shots.
And believe it or not, even if (real) democracy broke 
loose,
power could/would just "make the economy scream" until we 
vote responsibly.
