Lest We Forget Songtext

von The Real McKenzies

Ever Since The Days We Were Living In The Caves
Some Assumed Leadership Others Became Slaves
Brother Against Brother Cain & Abel Were Both Wrong
At Eachother Since The Dawn Of Civilisation

We Ran Out Of The Darkness Like Dirty Human Haunts
Into Blazing Enlightenment They Call The Renaissance
Dividing Of The Classes Breeding Ignorance & Hate
Remember What You Get What You Amalgamate Church & State
Lest We Forget?

Time Waits For No One It? Forever Moving On
Colonial Development Employment Of The Gun
Kings & Queens & Presidents, Power Shifting Schemes
Ending In A Blaze Of Bombs & Artillery
Lest We Forget?

Here We?e Living Now In What They Call A
Modern World
Documents Are Signed & The Banners Are Unfurled
A Funny Little People On A Spinning Little Ball
The Higher Up The Ladder Now
The Further Down You Must Fall
Lest We Forget?
