Rage Against The Machine - Testify (Original) Lyrics
Here we go9-5 is the blood for your sweatPay the landlord, he's taking your blood for the rentYoThe ballet's dead so a bullet's what I getWhen my Mao-Say-Tung gets offensive like TetThe whip snapped my backMy spine crackedFor tobaccoI'm the Marlboro manCan I make London bridges fallIf they do me like Mumia Abu-JamalNobody moveNobody move86 Philly pigs drive a whole city blockAnd I'm campin' like HamptonRead the word of the innocentYet death row is lockedCapitol-i-ismcheck the wrong rhythmAnd so they say let Saigons be SaigonsBut wait a Ho-Chi-minuteCan't waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearseMake a move and plead the fifth,Ya can't plead the firstAre you ready to testify?Get ready to testifyAre you ready to testify?Get ready to testifyThe revolutionary aestheticBlack leather, beret and powder blueHowever meanacing this human form on the outside looksWithout revolutionary actionIt's ever so translucentI stand admist grandeous gesturesPostures and platforms of romanticismCreating more noise than answersCreating more noise than the sirensThat keep our children crouched in cornersI sit and watch us do the blind man's danceAnd I can't stand the smell of false composureSo I take a Ho-Chi minute to meditateAnd thinkAnd then tune to the word of Jose MatinDoing is the best way of sayingDoing is the best way of sayingDoing is the best way of sayingDoing is the best way of saying9-5 is the blood for your sweatPay the landlord, he's taking your blood for the rent YoThe ballet's dead so a bullet's what I getWhen my Mao-Say-Tung gets effective like tetThe whip snap my backMy spine crackFor tobacc-Ohhh I'm the Marlboro manCan I make London bridges fallIf they do me like Mumia Abu-JamalNobody moveNobody move86 Philly pigs drive a whole city blockAnd I'm campin' like HamptonRead the word of the innocentYet death row is lockedCapitol-i-ismcheck the wrong rhythmAnd so they say let Saigons be SaigonsBut wait a Ho-Chi-minuteCan't waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearseMake a move and plead the fifth,Ya can't plead the firstAre you ready to testify?Get ready to testifyAre you ready to testify?Get ready to testifyc'monDoing is the best way of sayingDoing is the best way of saying
