lirik lagu knowledge of self – quintessential arts©
[verse 1]
before the small village of rome became “rome” with a capital r
a brilliant civilization once controlled almost the entire peninsula
we now call italy this was the etruscan civilization
a vanished culture whose achievements set the stage
not only for the development of ancient roman art and culture
but for the italian renaissance as well
[bridge 1]
optimism is discredited not so much
and certainly not only because its tenets are shown to be implausible
in the light of the evidence
but essentially because it is a system
as such it is as inhuman and as dangerous as all the other systems
which are ruthlessly satirized in history
the military system
the church system
the educational system
the colonial system
the economic models
political establishments
and indeed the system of logic itself

mr. parker
say it again? mr. parker
the man sitting over there is compiling many accusations
you look me in the eye and on your life, you answer me truthfully? have you any other name than?
solomon northup is my name
sheriff, what’s all this?
its official business
[verse 2]
the picture is not unrelievedly bleak there may be some grounds for optimism
first human beings may be admirable for their will to survive
and their refusal to commit philosophical suicide
etruscan influence on ancient roman culture was profound
and it was from the etruscans
that the romans inherited many of their own cultural and artistic traditions
from the spectacle of gladiatorial combat
to hydraulic engineering temple design and religious ritual
among many other things
[intermission 2]

[verse 3]
mundanes no longer listen to fairytales
the cause is still the same an interfering church
that thinks it has a monopoly on virtue and truth
a breach in superterrestrial law
people heard these marvelous tales
they believed thrived and built dynasties on them
[intermission 3]
you will unhand him
that is my n*gga
