Rage Against The Machine - Township Rebellion

Rage Against The Machine - Township Rebellion

Rebel, rebel and yell
cause our people still dwell in hell
Locked in a cell
Yes, the structures a cell
Mad is the story I tell
How long can we wait?
Come on, seein whats at stake
Action for reaction
If your minds in a somewhat complacent state
Get a check up
This is a stick up
Our freedom or your life
Lord, I wish I could be peacful
But there can be no sequel

Now freedom must be fundamental
In johannesburg or south central
On the mic, cause someone should tell em
To kick in the township rebellion

Yeah, what about that sucker?

Yeah, so you thought you could get with the hardlines
That fill your mind
Thoughts, battles fought
And lessons taught
Yes Ill display the fitness
And flip like a gymnast
Raise my fist and resist
Asleep, though we stand in the midst
Of the war
Gotta get mine
Gotta get more
Keepin the mic warm against the norm
cause what does it offer me?
I think often its nothin but a coffin

Gotta get wreck
till our necks never swing on a rope
From here to the cape of no hope

Now freedom must be fundamental
In johannesburg or south central
On the mic, cause someone should tell em
To kick in the township rebellion

Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm

(guitar solo)

Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm

Whats it gonna take?
Euuurrrggghhhhh!

Shackle their minds when theyre bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackle their minds when theyre left on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when were bent on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when were left on the cross
When 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, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Fight the war, fuck the norm

FIGHT THE WAR FUCK THE NORM

[GosseBosma]

This era of RATM puts all other hard acts in the dust.

[UberMetallMaschine]

gotta love yourself that didgeridoo action in the intro

[JimJam1304]

The legato on the solo blows my mind every time.

[JimJam1304]

@dubrubru That is my favorite part! You beat me to commenting that, actually. By a long while on top of that.

[MariusMMS]

@Konataismywiferofl Well, an anarchy is not what we wish, but we wish to be released from the oppression of the government and free the world. The government is one of the major reasons the world is so messed up.

Great Song.Still Powerful 20 years later.

I went to their show in BS AS Argentina on October and they blew my mind. Thanks RATM. And thanks oponto for the upload.

[Konataismywiferofl]

I wouldn't want to live in anarchy, because people are stupid, with no law and order they'd be free to do whatever the hell they want. Stupid people are dangerous, and a world with nobody to govern stupid people is hell. It'd be Escape From New York in real life.

[ZenRage1]

Seeing them play this song live was...

...Sorry, words fail.

[3tangle3]

We are still waiting for true democracy
