20syl - The Woods lyrics

The Woods Who controls the past controls the future Who controls the present controls the past You see I grew up where the war zone blew up My view of the statue Where they chewed up what the news done threw up And the tube done flashed you Like a tuba wraps you in a tune that has you marching I was that dude who you knew from the start Wouldn't give into moods with his heart darkened Flash back to the first attack I had a matchbook in my hand I had to stash that in the woods So that we could trap that good again I mean that fire again At night we'd thaw around the only light without a firing pin Desire was our only way to fight the law Our quiet den Def to rioting we left our smiles then We'd get right back to filing in line for bread And iron men how kind of them to remind us Of the truth about our future With a mind so fed their eyes go dead Till our heads our where their boots are Singing Ignorance is strength Freedom is slavery War is peace It's all they ever gave to me Ignorance is strength Freedom is slavery War is peace It's all they ever gave to me It's all they ever gave to me I swear they'll make a slave of me Before I'll ever show them that I care And the hate in me I bare for the sake that they will never be aware Of the love that two can make when no ones there No ones there Who controls the past controls the future Who controls the present controls the past Who controls the past controls the future Who controls the present controls the past Want to make us tumble down like lumber Want to make an urn of our sacred woods They want to see us cut down from our highest place And then burnt for the greater good But we made in a moment What they never broke in a decade of raids And we gave no emotion For those who had shown became decadent slaves So we headed back to this cave Where they say where soon to be found Had to paint for you with these tools we made Communication was down I say communication was down We used the rays of the sun We used the face of the moon cooling the day that is done And we made for you these inscriptions From the eyes yet to have seen A day of truth outside our minds Outside the lines of our dreams Outside the crimes of our brothers Of what two lovers hide in these trees Yes its hard to find in each other why we wind the clock at thirteen Ignorance is strength Freedom is slavery War is peace It's all they ever gave to me Ignorance is strength Freedom is slavery War is peace It's all they ever gave to me It's all they ever gave to me I swear they'll make a slave of me Before I'll ever show them that I care And the hate in me I bare for the sake that they will never be aware Of the love that two can make when no ones there No ones there Who controls the past controls the future Who controls the present controls the past Who controls the past controls the future Who controls the present controls the past
