I was listening to Sympathy For The Devil again and was jolted out of it by this verse

I stuck around St. Petersberg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a general's rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank

and the more I listened the worse it got.

As well as (at best) both sidesing the Soviets and Nazis as both the work of the devil they do cop apologia

Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails just call me Lucifer Cause I'm in need of some restraint

and, as this line was apparently about the Thuggees

Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste And I lay traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reach Bombay

go out of their way to repeat centuries old racist imperialist lies.

That's 3/5 of of their "historical example" verses that are overtly shitty and the other two, Pontius Pilate and the JFK assasination don't exactly make up for it.

I don't know if I'm broken or the world is.
