lyrics

a wise woman once said that:
"you can not lift the world at all when half of it is kept so small"

don't ignore what she said, internalize it instead
erase the blackboard and dig down to the bloodshed

our brains were whitewashed with white chalk and white lies
we're taught being 'happy' is just about getting by

at the expense of others, 'getting by' ain't enough for me
if we can't live like brothers, then life is just agony

at the expense of others, at the expense of ourselves
your history lesson, your history lesson

a wise woman once said that:
"you can not lift the world at all when half of it is kept so small"

don't ignore what she said, internalize it instead
you can not lift the world...

your mind was whitewashed
my mind was whitewashed
I would rather be 'brainwashed'

at least we'd be clean...
at least we'd be clean...

brainwashed.
