Rage Against The Machine - Township Rebellion Lyrics
Rebel, rebel and yellcause our people still dwell in hellLocked in a cellYes, the structures a cellMad is the story I tellHow long can we wait?Come on, seein whats at stakeAction for reactionIf your minds in a somewhat complacent stateGet a check upThis is a stick upOur freedom or your lifeLord, I wish I could be peacfulBut there can be no sequelNow freedom must be fundamentalIn johannesburg or south centralOn the mic, cause someone should tell emTo kick in the township rebellionYeah, what about that sucker?Yeah, so you thought you could get with the hardlinesThat fill your mindThoughts, battles foughtAnd lessons taughtYes Ill display the fitnessAnd flip like a gymnastRaise my fist and resistAsleep, though we stand in the midstOf the warGotta get mineGotta get moreKeepin the mic warm against the normcause what does it offer me?I think often its nothin but a coffinGotta get wrecktill our necks never swing on a ropeFrom here to the cape of no hopeNow freedom must be fundamentalIn johannesburg or south centralOn the mic, cause someone should tell emTo kick in the township rebellionWhy stand on a silent platform?Fight the war, ***** the norm (4 times)(guitar solo)Why stand on a silent platform?Fight the war, ***** the norm (4 times)Whats it gonna take?Euuurrrggghhhhh!Shackle their minds when theyre bent on the crossWhen ignorance reigns, life is lostShackle their minds when theyre left on the crossWhen ignorance reigns, life is lostShackled our minds when were bent on the crossWhen ignorance reigns, life is lostShackled our minds when were left on the crossWhen ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!Shackle your minds and youre left on the cross!When ignorance reigns, life is lost!Just shackle your minds when youre bent on the cross!When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost!Why stand on a silent platform?Fight the war, ***** the norm (4 times)
