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 what's 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
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
Why stand on a silent platform
Fight the war f**k the norm
What's it gonna take
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 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 f**k the norm Why stand on a silent platform Fight the war f**k the norm
