How History Goes Video (MV)

The man, the bear, the woods on fire
Free speech banned with an unfair trial
Censorship with a bastard smile
The rich are eating cake
Another war that we're always fighting
Another kid in their classroom hiding
A rapist wins and becomes the president
And I almost didn't hear it
But hey-ho can you hear us singing
Real hope comes out ringing
If we go, we'll go down swinging (swinging)
It's our home and we're gonna make it
It's our choice and you don't get to take it
It's my life, and you don't get to break my soul
Or don't you know how history goes
Don't you know how history goes
So I work two jobs just to keep on living
While they sign the docs that say my living's forbidden
And I grocery shop just to get killed in the parking lot
They're screaming spread your legs on live television
Like that's not the thing that's really scarring our children
Like identity is more a threat than dropping bombs
And they think they pulled it off
Hey-ho can you hear us singing
Real hope comes out ringing
If we go, we'll go down swinging (swinging)
It's our home and we're gonna make it
It's our choice and you don't get to take it
It's my life, and you don't get to break my soul
Or don't you know how history goes
Don't you know how history goes
They burned witches
They burned towns
Cried off with our heads, but we wouldn't bow down
We marched through the streets to the warning bell sound
History is right damn now
The emperor's clothes
The tea in the harbor
The witches you burned
Just fueled all the fire
Of marchers, of poets, of stories, of vows
History is right damn now
So hey-ho can you hear us singing
Real hope comes out ringing
If we go, we'll go down swinging
It's our home and we're gonna make it
It's our choice and you don't get to take it
It's my life, and you don't get to break my soul
Or don't you know how history goes
Don't you see how it's gonna go
Cause we won't let it go
