No Memory
by Max Bombast

Come close, I'll tell you a secret
If we forget we're destined to repeat it
Sisyphusin', yeah we're running in place
As history gets swept away
Textbooks re-written by the victors
Enemies erased from all the pictures
Control the present
You control the past
You control the future too

We've got no memory of the past before the day that we were born
History was written by the ones who wore the uniforms
What we learn we forget and
We repeat what we neglect
We repeat what we neglect

These days you can't believe your eyes or
Deep fakes will make you none the wiser
We've got the means to manufacture facts and
We're at the point where there's no going back
These days we just can't pay attention
It predates our digital dependence
But now we never leave a paper trail
To prove what is the truth

We've got no memory of the past before the day that we were born
History was written by the ones who wore the uniforms
What we learn we forget and
We repeat what we neglect
We repeat what we neglect

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
Escape reality
