Mandela Static
(shhh... quiet)
I swear the headlines said he died in school Now he's smiling
on the screen, looking like a fool No record of the fire,
no ashes on the floor But I remember running out the door
(who is that?)
This is not the room I knew
Everything is painted blue (liar!) Tell me what is real!
Rewrite the history, scratch out the name!
(it's not the same!) We all remember but they play the game!
(we are insane!)
The logo on the box has changed its face Stripped of the
line, leaving no trace I held it in my hands,
I knew the shape Now the tape is blank,
there is no escape
(turn it off!)
(they changed the world when we slept...) No!
It never happened
(it never happened) It never happened
