Cut the Crap Songtext
von Conflict

I am history
My history, your history, our history
It′s not just black and white, it's shared
It′s in us every day
Bound by the chains of our mutual DNA

We are all commodities, yes that is true
But have you ever been bought and sold like cattle?
Treated like a chattel?
No, I didn't think so
And for all the libraries and schools they built
Will never admonish them of their guilt
Full of books filled with big white lies

This is our history
It's no longer shrouded in mystery
Shared from everyone′s perspective
Objective, not subjective
A truth observed by us all


And the statues erected in their name will fall
And even though some still revere
The legacy they thought was left
Will no longer remain here
Your charity did not extend to those you stole from their land
Worked until their death at your hand

But what do I know? Who am I to say?
I have no more excuses for you today
Listen to one who′s felt your ignorance
A gentleman, a scholar, a poet

You offer me a pension but I know your intention
Your high powered connection
Cut the crap and set I free

I have not drunk your wine
That blood you shed is mine
That paper I won't sign
Cut the crap and set I free

You′re not doing me no favour
I was born a rebel raver
You was a two faced neighbour
And you think that you have me


Black Star Liner like I ride the storm
I looked and then I saw the norm
Said 'Up yours, no I won′t conform
And just live selfishly'
Now you offer me a share
You′re acting like you care
But how did I get here?
Can we check the history?
You want me to look like you
It's a fear you're going through
What you offer me won′t do
Cut the crap and set I free
