Burn it


Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to forget the lifes we took

Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie

History repeats itself
In another second
Generations of exploitations
And we just don't get it

Burn it - burn this lie down
Burn it - no more enslavement
Burn it - burn this history page
Burn it - just fucking burn it

Human life is still worth less
Than possession of power
And we are slaves of today
Under fascist co-operations

Burn it - burn this lie down
Burn it - no more enslavement
Burn it - burn this history page
Burn it - just fucking burn it

Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to forget the lifes we took

Another page in a history book
Another lie to justify the lands we took
Another page in a history book
Another lie to forget the lifes we took

Structured to maintain the awareness
And the civilizations we made
The lands we plundered and the cultures we raped
Were all part of progression

The victims of a capitalist system
Just statistics in history books
That glorify mass murders
And the genocides

What has changed and what have we accomplished
In our strive for equality?
Oppression rules and money controls
In a world were war is still
Economically beneficial
For those in power

In a sexist, (racist), homophobic existence
We still fight for freedom

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Refused è una storica band svedese di hardcore punk originaria di Umeå, formatasi nel 1991. Il gruppo ha pubblicato cinque EP e tre album prima dello scioglimento avvenuto nel 1998. Il loro capolavoro, *The Shape of Punk to Come*, è stato inserito al numero 13 nella lista dei 50 Album Più Importanti di Sempre di Kerrang!. La band è nota per il suo sound aggressivo e politico, influenzato dal hardcore punk, dall'anarchismo e dalla musica noise. *The Shape of Punk to Come* è considerato un album fondamentale del genere post-hardcore, anticipando sonorità che avrebbero caratterizzato gruppi successivi come At the Drive-In e The Dillinger Escape Plan. Dopo lo scioglimento, i membri di Refused hanno collaborato con altri progetti musicali, ma nel 2012 la band si è riunita per un tour mondiale. Nel 2015 hanno pubblicato il loro quarto album in studio, *Freedom*, che ha riscosso grande successo di critica e pubblico.
