Memory War - Asian Dub Foundation, Louis Beckett

Who controls the past controls the present

And who controls the present controls the future

The battle for the past is for the future

Must be the winners of the memory war

Smash reach out and then grab the flower

At the end of the day their defeat will be for sure

Have you inside your memory the scene of the crime

If you don’t have a clue then you’re running out a time

Struggle continues while di sunshine

Past and the truth two of them you have to combine

Because books dem a burnt and documents are shredded

Cover ups are covered up in the name of the law

Presidents and royalty caught red handed

And you won’t know about it for fifty years or more

Come pay attention to the re-educator

The battle for the past is now the battle for the future

Fire for the messengers of this fake nostalgia

Soon come judgement day

Who controls the past controls the present

And who controls the present controls the future

The history they teach is the voice of the victor

You need to look again you need to have a propaganda!

If truth is your price then come join the bounty hunters

Because truth make you the enemy of all these liars

Because books dem a burnt and documents are shredded

Cover ups are covered up in the name of the law

Presidents and royalty caught red handed

And you won’t know about it for fifty years or more

Come pay attention to the re-educator

The battle for the past is now the battle for the future

Fire for the messengers of this fake nostalgia

Soon come judgement day
