Lyrics Darkness - Demo 1991 - Rage Against the Machine

Greed
Causing innocent blood to flow
Entire culture, lost in the overthrow
They came to size and take whatever they please
And all they gave back was death and disease

My people where left no choice but to decide
To conform to a system, responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide

Aids is killing the entire African nation
And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation
But these governments, they don't mind their procrastination
They say we will kill them off
Take their land and go their for vacation (whoa!)

My people's culture was strong
It was pure and if not for that white greed
It would have endured
My people were left no choice but to decide
To conform to a system
Souls encaged, minds enslaved
I feel the rage

It's brutality can never be undone
But the sun is not yet set
The bass and drums and microphones a threat
That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside
And see that they are responsible for genocide

Responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide

Threw y'all culture down my throat
Say I am inferior when I find it, I choke
Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history
And then you wonder why I have no identity
We will all strike a match and it will catch
And spread the insight we need
A tiny fire, burning bright
Shedding light on the darkness of greed

A yes, yes, you all
And ya don't stop
Shedding light in the darkness of greed

A yes, yes, you all
And you don't stop
Shedding light in the darkness of greed
