2020 |
| It’s not as if you didn’t get the warnings |
| You got the transcripts and recordings |
| History was a way of sunning herself in the morning |
| But you’re a late starter make it easier to ignore it |
| Later not recall it, yo |
| You had unfettered access to the facts |
| But the fact is your back was turned to the atlas |
| Nothing like not being in the crash test |
| To help you make your mind up |
| Unknowingly the young sign up |
| The enemy of our enemy is still our enemy |
| So why are we arming them? |
| Is this insanity? |
| That’s how the Taliban began |
| Watch em as they turn around and aim their weapons at Americans |
| How’s it feel to be a widowmaker? |
| Taker of the father of the family |
| Your tragedy is fate, that’s the stakes |
| So scoff at the Saigon link |
| Flash those pearlies take us way past the brink |
| And we knew you were frauds |
| But onwards we went to war |
| Nothing could be said to convince you |
| We’ve already see it before |
| Someone could’ve told you it would end like this |
| We did, you didn’t listen you can’t take a trick |
| Lookin back 2020 mistakes I got many |
| And the truth is that I’ll probably do it again |
| No one could’ve ever hoped to sway your mind |
| We’ve been there before but it’s not that time |
| Lookin back 2020 mistakes I got many |
| And the truth is that I’ll probably do it again |
| There’s something familiar about the story you told me |
| The way that you mouthed it was not what you sold me |
| Well yes I’m one of many yet you ignored the signs |
| You made it personal don’t spin me that line |
| You can’t relax, cause it occurred on your watch |
| History will judge you cause you’re all that we’ve got |
| Is anyone listening? |
| Are you fucking insane? |
| Am I to sit watching as it plays out again? |
| The truth is we knew this, people aren’t stupid |
| You play the innocent because you think we let you do it |
| If we think you’re too ruthless |
| Show you where the point of the boot is |
| It’s all about where the fuck your proof is |
| Keen an eye on that new kid |
| He’s liable to do shit |
| If you don’t keep a check on it, beyond your electorate |
| Peace in Iraq, man stay in Afghanistan |
| Looking for Osama, getting killed by the Taliban |
| War on drugs? |
| War on terror, 9−11? |
| We knew where Johnny stood, where’s Kevin? |
| Don’t get me wrong, alarm clocks from heaven |
| Going off when the country woke up in '07 |
| But there’s no letting up |
| Yo we’re just getting up off the canvas |
| That very fact demands that |
| We stay as vigilant as can be, transparency? |
| Another AWB, well let’s see |
| Even as we applaud |
| And we show them the door |
| Thought we’d warn you that we’re wary |
| Cause we’ve already seen it before |
