A Centrist’s History of the World Lyrics by Pootie

Podunk

2022

In 1001, the military of Mahmud of Ghazni
Conquered Waihand and Peshawar
Enslaving thousands of youth for personal gain
In 1204, crusader armies sieged Constatinople
Destroying the city, raping women
And murdering its people
Racism, torture, greed, revenge, rape, sexism, and homophobia
Have been committed by all nations, races, classes, and genders
The horrors of humans is the history of the world
From 1805 to 1908
Under Leopold the II's administration
Of the Congo Free State
The Congolese were killed, mutatеd, or sexually abused
If their rubbеr collection quota wasn't reached
In the 1970's Idi Amin self-proclaimed ruling
Was synonymous with torture and murder
And he deported the country's asian descended population
Racism, torture, greed, revenge, rape, sexism, and homophobia
Have been committed by all nations, races, classes, and genders
The horrors of humans is the history of the world
In 2017, Zelim Bakaev was captured
Tortured and killed by Chechen authorities
During their anti-gay campaign
In 2020, nation-wide protests occurred
Due to police killings of unarmed Black Americans
Causing both protestors and the police
To use acts of violence against one another
When we fight fire with fire
It proves that we are smaller
The horrors of humans is the history of the world
