lyrics

I have been told about the miracles of men
I wasn't told if they were happy and well
I have been told about development in these cities
I wasn't told about the slums and all the misery

I tell you, you tell me
The same old stories on repeat

I have been told about the king and all of his deeds
I wasn't told about the common folk and the weak
I have been told about the temples and the bridge at sea
I wasn't told about demolitions and the bigotry

I could show you how we're swayed to make believe
when the press is bought out and I can't breathe
I can see the bigotry

I tell you, you tell three
The same old stories on repeat

I have been told about religion and society
I wasn't told about centuries of brutality
I have been told about inventions and discoveries
I wasn't told about plants, birds and the trees

I could show you how we're swayed to make believe
when the press is bought out and I can't breathe
I can see the bigotry

The show is not what we're here to see
packaged smiles, whitened teeth
with promises and the fake pleas

So I tell you, you tell three
The same old stories don’t repeat
