Thea Gilmore - The Revisionist lyrics
[Thea Gilmore - The Revisionist lyrics]
Brother brother let me tell
You what I learned
'Cause the fools are on the march
There are bridges getting burned
Boy you better pray that you don't
Show up on that list
'Cause this is the time of the revisionist
There was a time, it doesn't seem that long
You could still hear history whispering
But it cut a lonely song
Now all those motherfuckers wave their
Flags out in the street
Throwing hatred like confetti
Drinking populism neat
Listen listen can you hear the rising tide
Raise the anchor, Noah
Yeah we're in for a rough ride
The past will be rewritten and
The future's in the twist
'Cause this is the time of the revisionist
Brother brother have you got what it takes
Before the kingdom crumbles and the
Soldiers storm the gates
I'd love to trust your motives but
I haven't got the faith
'Cause you do a great impression
Of a really bad mistake
If you've got a six-point on your
Coat or a rainbow sign
A star and a crescent, a double-X line
The wrong end of the colour chart
The wrong side of the tracks
The revisionists are coming and
They're not holding back
Soldier soldier come on give me your hand
We can build a better future
We can make a bigger stand
Bring all the friends of reason
That you can enlist
We'll face down the time of the revisionist
We'll face down the time of the revisionist
Yeah we'll face down the time
'cause this is the time
We'll face down the time of the revisionist
You what I learned
'Cause the fools are on the march
There are bridges getting burned
Boy you better pray that you don't
Show up on that list
'Cause this is the time of the revisionist
There was a time, it doesn't seem that long
You could still hear history whispering
But it cut a lonely song
Now all those motherfuckers wave their
Flags out in the street
Throwing hatred like confetti
Drinking populism neat
Listen listen can you hear the rising tide
Raise the anchor, Noah
Yeah we're in for a rough ride
The past will be rewritten and
The future's in the twist
'Cause this is the time of the revisionist
Brother brother have you got what it takes
Before the kingdom crumbles and the
Soldiers storm the gates
I'd love to trust your motives but
I haven't got the faith
'Cause you do a great impression
Of a really bad mistake
If you've got a six-point on your
Coat or a rainbow sign
A star and a crescent, a double-X line
The wrong end of the colour chart
The wrong side of the tracks
The revisionists are coming and
They're not holding back
Soldier soldier come on give me your hand
We can build a better future
We can make a bigger stand
Bring all the friends of reason
That you can enlist
We'll face down the time of the revisionist
We'll face down the time of the revisionist
Yeah we'll face down the time
'cause this is the time
We'll face down the time of the revisionist
