Revisionist History Blues

Two, three, four—

The world ain't how it used to be
When I was watching it on a TV screen
When I went to school they taught to me
A revisionist version of history
Where MLK was never shot by the FBI
And every war we've ever been in was justified
Where the judges and the juries are colorblind
And our worst days are long left behind

But that is not the world I see
When I look at what's right in front of me
The cops keep killing, and we all watch
They get two weeks of paid time off
We all still watch the genocide
And look away when we get tired
We still salute the war machine
Until the soldiers come back and need somewhere to sleep

Oh yeah…
This ain't the world you promised me
It's nothing like you said it'd be
We live to work
Until we work to death
For a CEO we've never met

They said everyone trusts the government
'Cause criminals can't be president
And politicians only represent
The people who elected them
But that is not the world I see
When I look at what's right in front of me
The poor stay poor and then drop dead
The rich get richer off their blood and sweat
Everyone gets an atom bomb
The people cheer and clap along
As the show begins, the fever starts
It's our own nuclear holocaust

I sell my life for pennies flat
For someone else, I break my tired back
If I'm leaving—you're coming too
Before I go down… I'm getting you

Everybody!
When we go down
When we go down—that's right!
We go down together
When we go down—yeah!
When we go down—that's right!
We go down together

Together—alright!
We go down—hey, hey!
We go down together

Oh yeah!

The post composer for littleFedi is one of the most exciting Fedi developments I've seen since I first came here some years ago. I love the granular self-destruct, the scheduling, and I'm especially excited to try that "Blog post" setting soon. Kudos to @stefano for bringing something new and exciting to the Fediverse 👏

I'm reminded that light is a physical thing when I step out of my house into the blazing sunlight of a clear summer day and feel the weight of the sun on my skin. I am again awed that a source of light and heat 150 million kilometers away can burn me 🤯
