RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Darkness lyrics

rate me

Greed

Causing innocent blood to flow

Entire culture lost in the overthrow

They came to seetake whatever they please

Then all they gave back was death and disease

People were left with no choice but to decide

To conform to a system responsible for genocide

Responsible for genocideresponsible for genocide

Aids is killing the entire african nation

And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation

But these governmentsthey don't mind the procrastination.

They say we'll kill them offtake their land and go there for vacation

My peoples' culture was strong and was pure

And if not for that white greedit would have endured

My people were left with no choice but to decide

To conform to a system

Their minds did slay

Their souls they cage

You feel the rage

This brutality can never be undone

But the sun has not yet set

The bass and drums and microphone a threat

That's when you've got to get the cry from the inside

And see that they're responsible for genocide

Responsible for genocideresponsible for genocide

You jam your culture down my throat

Say I'm inferior when apon it I choke

You fill my mind with a false sense of history

And then you wonder why I have no identity

We'll strike a match and it'll catch

And spread the insight we need

A tiny fire burning bright

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

A yes yes y'all and you don't stop

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

A yes yes y'all and you don't stop

Shedding light on the darkness of greed
