[Verse 1] Prague to Belgrade, the colors shift and change Orange, rose, and tulip revolutions arranged Student movements funded, social media campaigns The playbook's been recycled through decades and reigns [Chorus] Historical rhyming, patterns repeat in time False flags waving, provocateurs in line Company plants among the striking miners COINTELPRO's shadow, truth between the liners When history rhymes, learn to read the signs [Verse 2] Pinkertons infiltrated union halls at dawn Split the railroad workers, authentic rage withdrawn Haymarket's explosion, who threw the deadly bomb? Real grievances hijacked, movements led along [Chorus] Historical rhyming, patterns repeat in time False flags waving, provocateurs in line Company plants among the striking miners COINTELPRO's shadow, truth between the liners When history rhymes, learn to read the signs [Bridge] Fred Hampton's breakfast program, Black Panthers feeding kids FBI surveillance, forged letters in the mix Martin's phone was tapped, his movement compromised Genuine liberation met with planted lies [Verse 3] Reichstag burned in flames, convenient for the state Gulf of Tonkin's phantom ships sealed Vietnam's fate Documented cases, not theories in the wind When power needs a reason, incidents begin [Chorus] Historical rhyming, patterns repeat in time False flags waving, provocateurs in line Company plants among the striking miners COINTELPRO's shadow, truth between the liners When history rhymes, learn to read the signs [Outro] Question the narrative, trace the funding source Separate authentic movements from manufactured force The contrarian analyst examines every claim When history rhymes, it's never quite the same
