Lyrics Year of the Boomerang (Live 1995 FM Broadcast) [Live] - Rage Against the Machine

The year of the boomerang

The sisters are in so check the front line
It seems I spent the '80's in a Haiti state of mind
Cast me into classes for electro shock
Straight incarcerated, the curriculum a cell block

Swimmin' in half truths and it makes me wanna spit
Instructor come, seperate the healthy from the sick
Weight me on a scale, I'm swellin' burnt skin
It's dark now in Dachau and I'm screamin' from within

'Cause I'm a cell locked in the doctrines of the right
Enslaved by dogma, talk about my birthrights
Yet at every turn I'm runnin' into hell's gates
So I grip tha cannon like fanon and pass the shells to my classmates

Bosses right to live is mine to die
Goin' out heavy sorta like Mount Tai
With the five centuries of penitenturies so let the guilty hang
In the year of the boomerang

So let the guilty hang, high
In the year of the boomerang
So let the guilty hang
In the year of the boomerang

Yeah

Now it's upon you
Now it's upon you

The sisters are in, check the front line
It seems I spent the '80's in a Haiti state of mind
Cast me into classes for electro shock
Straight incarcerated, the curriculum a cell block

Swimmin' in half truths, it makes me wanna spit
Instructor come, seperate the healthy from the sick
Weight me on a scale, I'm swellin' burnt skin
It's dark now in Dachau, I'm screamin' from within

'Cause I'm a cell locked in the doctrines of the right
Enslaved by dogma talk about my birthrights
Yet at every turn I'm runnin' into hell's gates
So I grip the cannon like fanon and pass the shells to my class mates

Aw, power to tha people, yeah, yeah
Bosses right to live is mine to die
So I'm goin' out heavy sorta like Mount Tai
With the five centuries of penitenturies so let the guilty hang
In the year of the boomerang

So let the guilty hang
In the year of the boomerang
Let the guilty hang
In the year of the boomerang

Yeah

Now it's upon you
Now it's upon you
You, you
You, you
You, you
You, you

You
