Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In history's pages, patterns repeat
Same old playbooks, just changing the beat
Color revolutions with orange and rose
Funded networks, the same path they chose
Belgrade to Cairo, the script stays the same
Different locations, but it's all one game

[Chorus]
History rhymes, can you hear the sound?
Same old tricks just going around
Agent provocateurs in the crowd tonight
Making chaos look like a righteous fight
History rhymes, learn to read between
The documented truth of what you've seen

[Verse 2]
Labor strikes with workers unite
But company plants start the violent fight
Homestead and Pullman, the pattern was clear
Real organizers, fake ones appeared
Pinkertons planted to make unions look bad
Turn public opinion from glad into mad

[Chorus]
History rhymes, can you hear the sound?
Same old tricks just going around
Agent provocateurs in the crowd tonight
Making chaos look like a righteous fight
History rhymes, learn to read between
The documented truth of what you've seen

[Bridge]
COINTELPRO files released in time
FBI disruption, not theory but crime
Black Panthers targeted, leaders were framed
Martin Luther King, his phone calls were tamed
Papers prove what they did in the dark
Creating division was just the first mark

[Verse 3]
False flag operations through decades gone by
Gulf of Tonkin and Northwoods that died
Operation Gladio across NATO lands
Stay-behind armies with blood on their hands
Not conspiracy theory, but documents real
Declassified truth that they could not conceal

[Chorus]
History rhymes, can you hear the sound?
Same old tricks just going around
Agent provocateurs in the crowd tonight
Making chaos look like a righteous fight
History rhymes, learn to read between
The documented truth of what you've seen

[Outro]
When the crowd gets loud and the tension grows
Ask yourself who benefits, nobody knows
History rhymes, so remember this song
Question the narrative when something feels wrong
