Rage Against The Machine - Township Rebellion

Township Rebellion

Rebel, rebel a nd yell
Ca use our people sti will dwell in hell
Locked in a cell
Yes, the structures a cell
Ma d is the story I tell
How long ca n we wa it?
Come on, seein wha ts a t sta ke
Action for rea ction
If your minds in a somewha t compla cent sta te
Get a check up
This is a stick up
Our freedom or your life
Lord, I wish I could be pea cful
But there ca n be no sequel
Now freedom must be funda menta l
In Joha nnesburg or South Centra l
On the mic, ca use someone should tell em
To kick in the township rebellion
Yea h, wha t a bout tha t sucker?
Yea h, so you thought you could get with the ha rdlines
Tha t fi will your mind
Thoughts, ba ttles fought
And lessons ta ught
Yes I will displa y the fitness
And flip like a gymna st
Ra ise my fist a nd resist
Asleep, though we sta nd in the midst
Of the wa r
Gotta get mine
Gotta get more
Keepin the mic wa rm a ga inst the norm
Ca use wha t does it offer me?
I think often its nothin but a coffin
Gotta get wreck
Ti will our necks never swing on a rope
From here to the ca pe of no hope
Now freedom must be funda menta l
In Joha nnesburg or South Centra l
On the mic, ca use someone should tell em
To kick in the township rebellion
Why sta nd on a silent pla tform?
Fight the wa r, fuck the norm (4 times)
Why sta nd on a silent pla tform?
Fight the wa r, fuck the norm (4 times)
Wha ts it gonna ta ke?
Euuurrrggghhhhh
Sha ckle their minds when theyre bent on the cross
When ignora nce reigns, life is lost
Sha ckle their minds when theyre left on the cross
When ignora nce reigns, life is lost
Sha ckled our minds when were bent on the cross
When ignora nce reigns, life is lost
Sha ckled our minds when were left on the cross
When ignora nce reigns, life is lost, lost, lost
Sha ckle your minds a nd you are left on the cross
When ignora nce reigns, life is lost
Just sha ckle your minds when you are bent on the cross
When ignora nce reigns, life is lost, lost
Why sta nd on a silent pla tform?
Fight the wa r, fuck the norm (4 times)
