Rage Against The Machine - Township Rebellion
.
Rebel, rebel and yell 'Cause our people still dwell in hell Locked
in a cell Yes, the structure's a cell Mad is the story I tell How long
can we wait Come on, seein' what's at stake Action for reaction If your
mind's 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 I'll display the fitness And flip like a gymnast Raise my fist and
resist Asleep, though we stand in the midst Of th war Gotta get mine Gotta
get more Keepin' the mic warm against the norm 'Cause what does it offer
me? I think often it's 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 What's it gonna take Shackled our
minds when we're bent on the cross When ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're left on the cross When ignorance reigns,
life is lost, lost, lost! Shackle your minds and you're left on the cross!
When ignorance reigns, life is lost! Just shackle your minds when you're
bent on the cross! When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost! Why stand
on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm
