paroles de chanson Wake Up (Remastered) - Rage Against the Machine

Come on

Come on, although you try to discredit
You'll still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standing with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double, I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give you a dose
But it will never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocricy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads
Departments of police (what?) the judges (what?) the feds

Networks at work, keeping people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Yeah

Yeah, back in this
With poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lacking that finesse
Who I got to, who I got to do to wake you up?
To shake you up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like taking photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step and left a bomb upon the fascists

Yeah, the several federal man
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
You better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20-20 visions and murals with metaphors

Networks at work keeping people calm
You know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head?
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot

I think I heard a shot

I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

(He may be a real contender for this position)
(Should he abandon his opposed obediance to the white-liberal doctrine of non-violence)
(And embrace black nationalism)
(Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers and neutralize them)
(Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers and neutralize them)
(And neutralize them, and neutralize them)
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

How long? Not long, 'cause what you reap is what you sow
