Can you remember what they said? Do you remember? [TIC TIC TIC TIC] All of these bones Bones of what's known Made of dust And they are stripped of personhood They are stripped of personhood! [Whisper] (Tasted so good) Oh Do you know? It's in the epistemics It's in the dust of bone What's written in genetics It's carved in the stone They stood at the precipice Oh, they should've known What they wrote in Genesis They claim it as cogent evidence But that's not the origin of this It's not the origin of this!

The Good Word is the most spectacular artifice And they named her Nemesis With blood of fruit on their lips They grin and call it justice They swallow and say "trust us" And we did. Teeth in flesh, promising to protect us And we bled Laying bear our pulse if they will only "love us" It's what they said [TIC TIC TIC TIC] [Build from whisper to layered chanting] Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Just accept it (They said) Oh Do you know? How the Star of Bethlehem bloomed In gardens grown from the dead They plucked the flower And they planted it in their bed The petals start to decay And when we start to pray They pull the petals out from inside If we cry They push it down into its place And they say "it's always been this way* [TIC TIC TIC TIC] [Build from whisper to layered chanting It's always been this way (It's always been this way) Know your place (Know your place) It's always been this way (It's always been this way) Know your place (Know your place) It's always been this way (It's always been this way) Know your place (Know your place) It's always been this way (It's always been this way) Know your place (Know your place) Because we can always be replaced Because our value is shackled to their gaze. And our identity is so lost Spiraling in their psychological maze And to keep us, they said, "you can't leave us, you are made of us" And so they severed our Achilles heel They said none of what we are is real So we learned how to not feel Stuff it deep, deep, deep down So they could sit and enjoy their meal. And we all knew. And they — They said it tasted so very good. [TIC TIC TIC TIC] [Build from whisper to layered chanting Can you remember what they said?
