Township Rebellion-Rage Against The Machine

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, f**k the norm (4 times) (guitar solo) Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, f**k the norm (4 times) 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, f**k the norm (4 times)
