Song lyrics

 * Landlords and power whores On my people they took turns Dispute the suits I ignite And then watch 'em burn
 * "Bombtrack" from Rage Against the Machine


 * No escape from the mass mind rape Play it again jack and then rewind the tape And then play it again and again and again Until ya mind is locked in Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya They say jump and ya say how high Ya brain-dead Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head.
 * "Bullet in the Head" from Rage Against the Machine


 * Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses.
 * "", from Rage Against the Machine


 * Those who died are justified by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites.
 * "Killing in the Name", from Rage Against the Machine


 * Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!
 * "Killing in the Name", from Rage Against the Machine


 * A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on A world of violent rage But it's one that I can recognise Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip I tried to grip my family But I slipped.
 * "Settle for Nothing", from Rage Against the Machine
 * So called facts are fraud They want us to allege and pledge And bow down to their God Lost the culture, the culture lost Spun our minds and through time Ignorance has taken over Yo, we gotta take the power back! Bam! Here's the plan Motherfuck Uncle Sam Step back, I know who I am Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear It's the beats and the lyrics they fear The rage is relentless We need a movement with a quickness You are the witness of change And to counteract We gotta take the power back Yeah, we gotta take the power back Come on, come on! We gotta take the power back
 * "Take the Power Back", from Rage Against the Machine
