We Thought the War Was Over
This song is about the tragedy of ignoring history and allowing it to repeat itself again and again. Moreover, I aim to elude to the fact that there has been an ongoing war, which we are kept in the dark about. All of the major wars in these past centuries have be instigated by the same closed group of people by wielding their monetary muscles and discreet positions of power.
Nazi Germany
When I first wrote this song, I was guided by an understanding that the Nazis never lost, they just disappeared and slowly infiltrated our US government. I even portrayed the idea in my music video. However, I have since learned that that isn’t very accurate and their is much more to that whole story. I took that music video down. But it still remains that there is an on-going war, which I will write more about.
Album Track vs Single
The album version and single of this song are slightly different (though it may require a trained ear to notice the difference). I like the album version more, but currently the links to the left will take you to the single.
Lyrics
History repeats itself and we just put it on the shelf with blinders on
The politician’s favorite game always seems to stay the same
With blinders on
Defeat, brainwash, repeat, brainwash, repeat
Defeat, brainwash, repeat, repeat, repeat
We thought the war was over but it only started again
Then when we investigated we found it never ended
(repeat)
Defeat, brainwash, repeat, brainwash, repeat
Defeat, brainwash, repeat, repeat, repeat
History repeats itself and we just put it on the shelf with blinders on
The politician’s favorite game always seems to stay the same
With blinders on
We thought the war was over but it only started again
Then when we investigated we found it never ended
(repeat)
