History Lesson lyrics

In the museums and in the schools
Displays of `primitive` kinds and their tools
Primitive because they couldn`t stand
up to the machine of `civilized` man

So we grind their bones up in to dust
because they`re not like us
Dig `em up and put `em under glass
We`re safe now that they`re past
Exterminate them because we hate them
because they won`t bow down to our gods
Money and science and power and blood
Shed as we bulldoze them in to the mud!

Fear`s the real reason we rape their lands
Scared `cause we can`t hope to understand
Scared `cause they don`t need our names to be
or need what we think makes us free

So we try to make them what we are
`cause we`ve come so far
If they resist they die in the name of progress - but we could care less
`cause to us they`re not human
They might as well be lizards under rocks
But did you ever think they don`t learn
Just because they don`t need to be taught
our kind of history lesson?!?!
