You want lyrics? "Wake Up" by Rage Against the Machine

[flvegan]

WAKE UP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Come on!
Uggh!

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never edit
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' 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 ya a dose
But it'll never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

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, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' 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...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Uggh!
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 supposed obediance to 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,
neutralize them, 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

[New Earth]

6. i wasn;t talking about RATM

i was talking about whatever idiot decided to post the lyrics to the new 311 album before it came out. they posted the shit all over the internet (lyric sites) and they are all wrong :eyes:

i just typed them up from the album cover though :P

[flvegan]

10. Okay, okay. I missed what you were posting on.

Sorry, but I took it as a post towards me. I love 311, and I look forward to you setting us ALL straight on the new lyrics.

[LastKnight]

7. hes not talking to you.

He had posted a new song by 311, solar flare, a protest song, it hasnt even been out a week, and very likley that correct lyrics arent around yet. he was refering to his own post.

[New Earth]

9. i'm a she

[LastKnight]

11. oh, sorry.

[Elidor]

3. Whatever happened to Zak?

I love Rage, but I always thought Zak couldn't speak fast enough to rap. He's not nearly as good as he thinks he is.

[LastKnight]

8. he tried to go solo.

http://www.zdlr.net/

hes been working on it since rage split. and not much is out there these days other than march of death, a few tracks he worked on with Trent Reznor of NIN (which were never to be released). and a few collaborations with other DJ's.

5. Solar Flare by 311

the REAL LYRICS!!!

not for lack of a gentle mother, i do lack a mental cover
it keeps on pounding my head.
world order, water torture, exhausted economics
everyday, just more comics.
in a pissing contest that started out with atomic bombs.
mom, will they drop the bomb?
will they think about their children's children?
being born with limbs missing?
there is no one to call.
you can't make them stall.
i want to feed them to eachother,
cuz i'm sick of them all.

how can't you see something's missing?
is anyone listening?
we're shooting up flares,
does anyone care?

they've got this world locked down
bound and gagged.
from the Rez in Pine Ridge
to the land in Baghdad.

when did our leaders become bottom feeders?
we're shooting up flares, does anyone care?

they've got this world locked down
bound and gagged
with constant fear and paranoia.
toxins in our head.

it's just something they know how to do
(how to make everyone feel uncalm)
the masses just take it while they turn the screws
(bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb)
it's just something that we gotta fight
(how to make everyone feel uncalm)
keep us distracted with fuel to ignite
(bring to a boil)

porno shows, MTV hoes
and on the radio
it's the same song.
that's just the way it goes.
cultures referral to democracy's girls
learn the rules of engagement, sweetheart:
this is the world.

why do so many sit silent?
numb to the violence
we're shooting up flares, does anyone care?

they got this world locked down
bound and gagged
with botoxed barbie dolls in stupid magazine ads.

it's just something they know how to do
(how to make everyone feel uncalm)
the masses just take it while they turn the screws
(bring to a boil, add oil, then bomb)
embodying all that we know to be wrong
(how to make everyone feel uncalm)
when a war chant becomes a popular song.

[flvegan]

12. Good f'ing song, thanks. Should be it's own post.

[New Earth]

13. want some more 'fuck the war' lyrics?

Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve
A nation that stands alone
Cold voices, faces pale
Gathered unto their judgement day
Such pride remains unbroken
Such words remain unspoken
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
Tears and medals in the rain
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail
The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land
Shall I call on you to guide me well
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension


Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies?
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?

The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land
Shall I call on you to guide me well?
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
On this day we praise the fallen

Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war
For heaven or hell we shall not wait
Shall I think of honour as lies
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?
