Bombtrack (Live&Rare) Lyrics

Rage against the machine - Bombtrack (Live&Rare) Talkin' about the American Indian Movement. In 1977, after a series of long struggles against the BIA*** get that spotlight out of my fuckin' eye, man. Get that thing off. I'm talkin' to people and I can't even see them. In 1977 after a long series of trouble, the Agualasue Reservation was under attack bye the FBI. People who are involved in the movement there, involved in defending their culture, defending their freedome were taken away, were being kidnapped, were being murdered and the one man who happened to be the one of the leaders of the AIM was thrown in jail , he has sat there for 17 years for crimes that he did not commit. His name is Leonard Paltare, and this brother has been in jail and has served his people and served true free and constitutional rights and is being denied his own and I think it's hypocricy all of us need to expose in this country. So that if we want to raise is voice for ourselves here in America the same doesn't happen. We've got some pamphlets in the back and we're selling some shirts, please pick one up and please send, please send your name or there's an address, you can send it to what's his name, fuckin' Dixie Crap Clinton whoever that fuckin' punk is. Let's fill this punk's room of fuckin' mail. I know it's not the fuckin' most powerfull form of fuckin' change but let's this fuckin' ball rolling. Alright? This song is called Bombtrack. It's just another bombtrack And suckas be thinkin' that they can fade this But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level, 'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down Hand out some beat-downs Cold runna train on punk ho's that Think they run the game But I learned to burn that bridge and delete Those who compete at a level that's obsolete Insteat I warm my hands on the flames of the flag As I recall our downfall And the business' that burned us all See through the news and views that twist reality Enough I call the bluff Manifest destiny Landlords and power whores On my people they took turns Dispute the suits I ignite And then watch 'em burn The thoughts a militant mind Hardline, hardline after hardline Landlords and power whores On my people they took turns Dispute the suits I ignite And then watch 'em burn (Chorus) Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Another funky radical bombtrack Started as a sketch in my notebook But now dope hooks make punks take another look My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere With the thoughts pf a militant mind Hardline, hardline after hardline Landlords and power whores On my people they took turns Dispute the suits I ignite And then watch 'em burn (Chorus) Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
