heritage - feral the earthworm lyrics

[verse]
got on facebook, the first thing i saw?
confederate flag. do i get involved?
as i read the comments the main thing i notice
“this is my heritage” is most the poster’s focus
heritage, heritage, what is this word?
i basically knew but still went ahead and searched
in this context, it’s inherited history
a cultural connection to the past, which is interesting
heritage is important, i understand this desire
i want to hear legends of ancestors by the firе
but the confederacy fеll in 1865
founded in 1861, so let’s divide
the 4 years it stood, with the length of time
america has existed. when you do this you will find
1.64% that’s what it represents
it existed for half a minute, dude it just came and went
so really, how could this flag be emblematic?
of your lineage, history, the intricacy of your fabric
is almost done a disservice to focus on such a morsel
wouldn’t you want to live with a historical picture that’s more full?
where’s your family from? ireland? italy?
furthermore, the funny thing, is where do you stop with history?
the oldest human ancestors bones have been dated
to 7 million years which is way beyond the cave sh*t
i could break it down but basically to keep it brief
the species migrated from africa to the northern east
tigris and euphrates region, then the rest of earth
before culture could emerge, tech had to develop first
like writing, and agriculture. such a big deal
maybe i’m crazy but sh*t dude i just feel
to identify your heritage with 2% of history
is a limited vision. consider different centuries
let alone millennia, and the further back you go?
your idea of heritage will more massively grow
so, anyway, if you still think it’s tricky
check the declaration of secession written by mississippi
it says they identify with the institution of slavery
these are there official words. maybe we
should listen. to the confederate commander
who spoke out against southern monuments. never said the answer
was to tamper with historical standards but when hammers
get slammed against something that stands for slavery then manners
is a funny thing to predicate your argument upon
plus, history isn’t taught with monuments i’m on
empty with my patience yet i long for real discussion
i don’t want hateful exchange, i just cannot see the function
of this flag. i’m from texas. trust me i’m no liberal
in fact, i find the democratic establishment quite pitiful
f*ck ’em. but the confederate states
have documented moments where they say they wanted slaves
i’ve provided a work cited in the comments below
to say that’s not what it’s about is just dishonest so
help me out. and please, be consistent
don’t pretend you’re preserving history then become resistant
when hit with facts. yes, the germans have monuments
to victims. not perpetrators of intolerance
i’m not opposed to memorials or historical markers
but a stonewall statue where slaves worked is garbage
partic*p*te in the debate. no snowflake emotion
i’m coming at this with my mind and make no mistake, it’s open
convince me. cite your work. i’m f*cking here
let’s talk about it calmly, no waiting another year
i’m not calling you racist or disrespecting your views
i’m saying make a logical case because frankly i’m confused
