Calm Like a Bomb lyrics:

feel the funk blast,
feel the funk blast,
FEEL THE FUNK BLAST,
yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo, check it out yo-yo-yo
I be walkin god like a dog
My narrative fearless
Word war returns to burn
Like Baldwin home from Paris, Uh
Like steel from a furnace
I was born landless
Yes its tha native son
Born of Zapatas guns
Stroll through the shanties
And tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry
But with different last names
The vultures robbin everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the globe
Yes tha pictures tha same
Theres a bank, theres a church, a myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
Theres a widow pig parrot
A rebel to tame
A whitehooded judge
A syringe and a vein
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What ya say? What ya say? What ya say? What? (x4)
Calm like a bomb
(ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite)

This aint subliminal
Feel the critical mass approach horizon
Tha pulse of the condemned
Sound off Americas demise
Tha anti-myth rhythm rock shocker
Yes I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
Yes back through tha shanties and tha cities remains
Same bodies buried hungry, uh-huh
With different last names, uh-huh
The vultures robbin everyone
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home
Yes the pictures tha same
Theres a field full of slaves
Some corn and some debt
Theres a ditch full of bodies
Tha check for the rent
Theres a tap, tha phone, tha silence of stone
The numb black screen
That be feelin like home
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What ya say? What ya say? What ya say? What?(x4)
Calm like a bomb
(ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite ignite)

There's a mass without roofs
There's a prison to fill
There's a countrys soul that reads post no bills
There's a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
There's a right to obey
And a right to kill

There's a mass without roofs
There's a prison to fill
There's a countrys soul that reads post no bills
There's a strike and a line of cops outside of tha mill
There's a right to obey
And a right to kill!

Shitface below me...you probably didn't even go. Lauren Hill was OK...Rise Against killlllled it...Muse was WAY better than I thought they would be. And RATM...I told everyone around me that hadn't seen them before they were going to see the BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.....and after a few songs...everyone agreed. They were fucking SICK BITCHES!!! :)

I was in the pit for Sleep Now In The Fire, and got the best laugh of the night when some girl was skipping along in the pit and got punched right in the face by some big dude... epic! lmfao

The power of sleep now in the fire is so amazing it should be translated to all languages

Ye gods, I wish I could have been there. Never seen them live yet, my fav band ever... Got to see A Perfect Circle that same night at least, but even that seems hollow after watching these vids :-P

Thank you for posting this!

I remember this night cause it was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. We unfortunatly had to leave early cause my friend's gf got sick and got beaten up. We were about to leave then Sleep Now In The Fire came on. We all heard the riff and ran to the pit for it and Wake Up. Fucking greatest thing ever
