lyrics

Well, Thoreau didn’t live in isolation – Walden was just a mile from town. He’d go and drink at the bar near every day/
And Marie Antionette, no she never said “Let them eat cake”-
That was put on her long after her execution day/
Well John Wayne was a nazi and
John Lennon beat the shit out of his wife on a daily basis/

Oh, and by the way, Thomas Jefferson was a racist/

And it not might have been all, but the Spartans were gay despite what that bullshitter Frank Miller says.
He’s about as credible as the comic sans his stupid books are written in/ And Christopher Columbus was a mad dog without a leash,
how that genocidal prick gets a day every year is beyond me/
Jesus was middle eastern and Disney wasn’t frozen in a cryogenic casement/

Oh, and by the way Thomas Jefferson was a racist/

Well Rene Descartes never said “I think, therefore I am” and Edison liked to pretend but his inventions were made by someone else’s hands/ And the Civil War was fought over slavery, although in fairness Lincoln didn’t really care,
At least not as much as Daniel Day-Lewis would say/
And allow me to retort, Napoleon wasn’t short and Nero wasn’t in Rome when it burned down and he never had a fiddle he could play/
When you study history, prepare to get lost in an endless sea of faces.
