Tunnelvision Too
I hope you all are happy
for helping history change
One day you'll read a history book
and think it looks so strange
Everything that's written there
the lies your families told
The monuments, now chiseled blank
by the bill of goods you're sold
Go ahead, just turn your back
out-of-sight, means out of mind
Your future generations will
speak proudly of your kind
But someday way far down the road
when you really least expect
Someone's going to learn the truth
your history's not correct
You'll proudly tell them everything
about the civil war
They'll know it really makes no sense
Who "are," those changes for?.....
