Higher Learning movie - Year of the Boomerang lyrics

rate me

Song by Rage Against the Machine<br /><br>

Tha sistas are in so check the front line<br>

It seems I spent the '80s in a Haiti state of mind<br>

Cast me into classes for electro shock<br>

Straight incarcerated, the curriculum a cell block<br>

I'm swimmin' in half truths and it makes me wanna spit<br>

Instructor come separate the healthy from tha sick<br>

Ya weigh me on a scale I'm smellin' burnt skin<br>

It's dark now in Dachau and I'm screamin' from within<br>

'Cause I'm cell locked in tha doctrines of tha right<br>

Enslaved by dogma, ya talk about my birthrights<br>

Yet at every turn I'm runnin' into hells gates<br>

So I grip tha cannon like Fanon an pass tha shells to my classmates<br>

'Cause tha bosses right ta live is mine ta die<br>

So I'm goin' out heavy sorta like Mount Tai<br>

Wit tha five centuries of penitentiary so let tha guilty hang<br>

In the year of tha boomerang<br>

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it<br>

So let tha guilty hang<br>

In tha year of tha boomerang<br>

And now it's upon you<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>
