Matrix movie - Wake Up lyrics

rate me

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

Come on<br>

Although you try to discredit<br>

You still never edit<br>

The needle I'll thread it<br>

Radically poetic<br>

Stanin with the fury that they had in '66<br>

And like E double I'm mad<br>

Standin knee deep in the system's shit<br>

Hoover, he was a body remover<br>

I can give you a dose<br>

But it can never come close<br>

To the rage built up inside of me<br>

Fist in the air in the land of hipocracy<br>

Movements come and movements go<br>

Leaders speak, movements cease<br>

When their heads are flown<br>

'Cause all these punks got bullets in their heads<br>

Departments of police (What?)<br>

The judges (What?) the Feds (The Feds)<br>

<br>

Networks at work keepin people calm<br>

You know they went after King<br>

When he spoke out on Vietnam<br>

He turned the power to the Have-Nots<br>

And then came the shot<br>

<br>

Yeah back in this<br>

With poetry my mind I flex<br>

Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin that finesse<br>

Whadda I got to, whadda I got to<br>

Do to wake you up?<br>

To shake you up, to break the structure up?<br>

'Cause blood still flows in the gutter<br>

I'm like takin photos<br>

Mad Boy kicks open the shutter<br>

Set the groove<br>

Then stick a move like I was Cassius<br>

Rep the stutter step<br>

Then bomb a left upon the fascists<br>

Yea, the several federal men<br>

Who pulled scemes on the dream<br>

And put it to an end<br>

You better beware<br>

Of retribution with mind war<br>

20/20 visions and murals with metaphors<br>

<br>

Networks at work keepin people calm<br>

You know they murdered X<br>

Tried to blame it on Islam<br>

He turned the power to the Have-Nots<br>

And then came the shot<br>

<br>

I think I heard a shot<br>

<br>

Wake up<br>

<br>
