2020, por The Herd



Brillante video de la banda australiana The Herd. Presentado meses atrás por Boingboing TV

It's not as if you didn't get the warning

You got the transcripts and the recordings

History has a way of signing us up in the morning

You're a late starter make it

Easy to ignore it

Later not record it

You un? access to the back

But the back is your back

As soon to the eyed less

Looking like 'umping

In the crash

Just to help you make your mind up

Unknowing the young sign up

The enemy of our enemy is still our enemy

So why are you umming insist on this insanity?

Thats how the Talliban began

What you're mosely doing around?

An there ain't no weapons that aren't Americas.

How does it feel to be a widow-maker

Taker with the father with the family

You tried to be pursadeknives and stakes

Saigon link

Flash those pearlies

Take us way past the frown

And we you knew you would froze

All was we went to war

Nothing could be said to promise you

We'd already seen it before

It's not as if you didn't get the warning

You got transcripts and recordings

History has a way of signing us up in the morning

But you're a late starter make it easy to ignore it

Later not recall it

You had unfettered access to the facts

But the fact is your back is turned to the atlas

Nothing like jumping in the crash test

To help you make your mind up

Unknowingly the young sign up

The enemy of our enemy is still our enemy

So why will you palm it and resist insanity

That's how the Taliban began

Put your music turn around and

Ain't no weapons that Americans

How's it feel to be a widow maker

Taker of the father of the family

Your tragedy is playing that's the stakes

The scoff at the Saigon link

Flash those pearlies

Take us way past the perimeter

And we knew you were frauds

Onwards we went to war

Nothing could be said to promise you

We've already seen it before

Someone coulda told you it'd end like this

They did you didn't listen you can take a trip

Lookin' back 2020 mistakes

I got many

And the truth is that I'll probably do it again

No-one could have ever half sway your mind

We've been there before but it's not the time

Lookin' back 2020 mistakes

I got many

And the truth is that I'll probably do it again

There's something familiar, bout the story you told me

The way that you mouthed it, is not what you sold me

I guess I'm one of many, yet you ignored the signs

You made it personal, don't spin me them lies

You can't relax, cause it occurred on your watch

History will judge you cause you're all that we've got

Is anyone listening? Are you f**king insane?

Am I twisted watching as it plays out again?

The truth is we knew this, people aren't stupid

You play the innocent because you think we let you do it

We think you're to ruthless

Show you where the point of the boot is

It's all about where the f**king proof is

You'll keep an eye on that new kid

He's liable to do shit

If you don't keep a check on it beyond your electorate

Peace in Iraq man, stay in Afghanistan

Lookin' for Osama, getting killed by the Taliban War on drugs, war on terror, 9/11

We knew where Johnny stood, where's Kevin?

Don't get me wrong alarm clocks from

Heaven Going off when the country woke up in '07

But there's no letting up no

We're just getting up off the canvas

That very fact demands that

We stay as vigilant as can be

Transparency another AWB, but we'll see

Even as we applaud

And we show them the door

But we warn you that we're wary

Cause we've already seen it before

Someone coulda told you it'd end like this

They did you didn't listen you can take a trip

Lookin' back 2020 mistakes I got many

And the truth is that I'll probably do it again

No-one could have ever half sway your mind

We've been there before but it's not the time

Lookin' back 2020 mistakes I got many

And the truth is that I'll probably do it again

Someone coulda told you it'd end like this

They did you didn't listen you can take a trip

Lookin' back 2020 mistakes I got many

And the truth is that I'll probably do it again

No-one could have ever half sway your mind

We've been there before but it's not the time

Lookin' back 2020 mistakes I got many

And the truth is that I'll probably do it again.
