Chris Shepard - Glory lyrics

War and slavery, exploitation The common basis of a Western nation Official version, a falsified story The truth lies buried in a shroud of glory Influential people aren't serving time For being involved in organized crime But stashed away in beautiful mansions Guess who provides for their generous pensions Oppression, ignorance, censorship rule Education is more than what's taught in school Forced in a mold, held down by threats Decisions are made over our heads But there is a way to refuse and resist We don't need to be ruled with the iron fist We are the people, we are strong Let's make up our minds and prove 'em wrong Black man, white man, yellow man Black man, white man, rip the system Religion and TV, we're under the thumb Prone to believe cause we're already numb
