THREE O'CLOCK HEROES - History, I've Got It Wrong

HISTORY, I’VE GOT IT WRONG

When I was a young boy teachers in my school taught me about history And I thought it was true:
All those fine statesmen always wanted the best
All those crimes got paid with medals on their chests
History, I’ve got it wrong

History, it is easy to manipulate
Black turns to white and love turns to hate
Nixon was a great man who fought for peace and jobs
Not one single hippy was ever beaten by the cops

Natives of America, Australia and so on
European immigrants never killed a single one
Tell me that Hitler never gassed the Jews
If you got the power you can change the truth

Maybe, I’ve got it wrong
Maybe it’s better to stay stupid and bite my tongue
