Rage Against the Machine
Take the Power Back

Bring that shit in!

Yeah, the movement's in motion
With mass militant poetry
Now check this out...

In the right light,
study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and right

So called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
Yo, we gotta take the power back!
Bam! Here's the plan
Motherfuck Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear,
I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats
And the lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

The present curriculum
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through
The red, white and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture
The structure of lies
Installed in our minds
And attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
Holes in our spirit
Causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories
For years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yeah, we need to check the interior
Of the system that cares
About only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

Hey yo check,
We're gonna have to break it,
Break it,
Break it down
Awww shit!

And like this...

Come on, yeah!
Bring it back the other way!

The teacher stands
In front of the class
But the lesson plan
He can't recall
The student's eyes
Don't perceive the lies
Bouning off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students
Sit and listen to some of that
Bullshit that he learned in school

Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it,
Gotta get it together then
Like the motherfuckin' weathermen
To expose and close
The doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred
Continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back
Come on, come on!
We gotta take the power back

No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies
No more lies

Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!
Take it back y'all
Take it back, a-take it back
A-take it back y'all, come on!

I know that you will be
coming for me soon too,
the moment that everyone said
we would never have again,
the only two people in all eternity,
with the white light around us,
forever... (only forever?)
