Lyrics Bulls on Parade (Live at 2000 Democratic National Convention) - Rage Against the Machine

Welcome to the Battle of America
Apparently there's some other show going on
Across the street here
But it's all sold out
Brothers and sisters
Our democracy has been hijacked
Brothers and sisters
Our electoral freedom in this country are over
So long as it's controlled by corporations
Brothers and sisters
We are not gonna allow these streets to be taken over
By the Democrats or the Republicans
This next song is called, "Bulls on Parade"

Uh!
What's up, Los Angeles?
Come with it now!
Come with it now!

This microphone explodes, shattering the mold
Either drop the hits like de la O, or get the fuck off the commode
With the sure shot, sure to make the bodies drop
Drop and don't copy yo, don't call this a co-op
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' the thirst
Of the power dons, that five-sided Fist-a-gon
That rotten sore on the face of Mother Earth gets bigger
The trigger's cold, empty your purse

They rally 'round the family
Rally 'round the family
They rally 'round the family
They rally 'round the family
With a pocket full of shells

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not needs, just feed the war cannibal animal
I walk the corner to the rubble that used to be a library
Line up to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em
Arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family, pocket full of shells

Rally 'round the family
They 'rally round the family
With a pocket full of shells
Rally 'round the family
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family
With a pocket full of shells

Aw, shit!
Woo!

Come with it now!
Come with it now!
Bulls on parade!

Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
