RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
     
 


It's just another bombtrack
And suckas be thinkin' that they can fake this
But I'm a put it at a higher level

Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
Hand out some beat-downs
Cold runna train on punk ho's that
Think they run the game

But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
Those who complete at a level that's obsolete
Instead I warm my hands on the flames of the flag
As I recall out downfall
And the business that burned us all

See through the news and views that twist reality
Enough
I call the bluff
Manifest destiny

Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits ignite
And then watch 'em burn

The thoughts of a militant mind
Hardline, hardline, after hardline
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits ignite
And then watch 'em burn

Chorus:
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn

Another funky radical bombtrack
Started as a sketch in my notebook
But now dope hooks make punks take another look

My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
That ya card will get pulled if you interfere
With the thoughts of a militant, militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline

Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits ignite
And then watch 'em burn


In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and write

So-called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their god
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time

Ignorance has taken over
We gotta take the power back

Bam, here's the plan
Mother fuck Uncle Sam
Step back
I know who I am
Raise up your, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and lyrics they fear

The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickless
You are the witness of change
And to counteract

We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back

Chorus:
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
Come on
Come on

The present curriculums
I put my fist in em
Eurocentric
Every last one of 'em

See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture, I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attepting
To hold us back

We've got to take it back
Cause holes in out spirit are causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years

I'm inferior?
Who's inferior?
It's time
We needa check the interior
Of the system who cares about only one culture
And that is why we gotta take the power back

Chorus

The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouncing off every fucking wall

His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to the
Bullshit that he learned in school

Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hand from it
Gotta get it, gotta, get it together then
Like the mother fuckin' weatherman

To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

Chorus


Killing in the name of
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya

Those that died are justified
For wearin' a badge and their chosen white
You justify those that die
For wearin' their badge and chosen white

Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces
Are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of
Killing in the name of

Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya

Those that died are justified
For wearin' a badge and their chosen white
You justify those that die
For wearin' their badge and chosen white

Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.
Fuck You I Won't Do What You Tell Me.

Those that died are justified
For wearin' a badge and their chosen white
You justify those that die
For wearin' their badge and chosen white
