History as a Weapon

I wrote this song thinking about the ClimateGate leaks from WikiLeaks a few years ago, and the fact that science is heavily influenced by money/lobbyists. Who knows how much is really fact in our science and history books, when the people have shown an agenda in their results? How many fear going against the grain? How will history see those "Climate Deniers?" And will this populism movement, that elected Trump and has changed the world politically, be written honestly? I think we all know the answer to that!

History as a Weapon

this list is wrong
i’ve seen your notes
disposed of truth, snake tongue
numbers fudged, errors swung
of all these facts, this one it doesn’t belong
what’s your reason
is it your pocket books
can’t you see the
surmounting skeptic looks

define the distance- the distance grows
you’ve drawn a line and it’s covered in snow
time persists, though feels like it froze
remember your quotes, suppose we let them go?
goldfish brain, stop remembering
don’t you swim against
this flood this rain
cattle back to the plain
so you can numb your brain

just listen to me (they say)
consensus
will depict us
as the fools

voices raised to be
a protest
will foment
only more abuse

records changed to see
a narrative
cannot forgive
this deceit

history
as a weapon
if we let them
cook the books, don’t let them

reality
is what you make it
so let’s take it
before the noose

reality
is what you make it
so let’s take it
from these crooks
