The Crow movie - Darkness (of Greed) lyrics

rate me

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

Greed!<br>

Causing innocent blood to flow<br>

Entire culture, lost in the overthrow<br>

They came to seize and take whatever they please<br>

Then all they gave back was death and disease<br>

My people were left with no choice but to decide<br>

To conform to a system, responsible for genocide<br>

Responsible for genocide<br>

Responsible for genocide...<br>

<br>

[Spoken:]<br>

'AIDS is killing the entire African nation<br>

And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation<br>

But these governments they don't mind the procrastination<br>

They say <br>

"We'll kill them off, <br>

take their land <br>

and go there for vaction."'<br>

<br>

My people's culture was strong, it was pure<br>

And if not for that white greed<br>

It would've endured<br>

My people were left with no choice but to decide<br>

To conform to a system<br>

Their minds enslaved<br>

Their souls encaged<br>

I feel the rage<br>

It's brutality can never be undone<br>

But the sun is not yet set<br>

The bass and drums and microphones a threat<br>

That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside<br>

And see that they're responsible for genocide<br>

Responsible for genocide<br>

Responsible for genocide...<br>

<br>

Ya cram ya culture down my throat<br>

Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke<br>

Ya fill my mind with a false sense of history<br>

And then you wonder why I have no identity?<br>

Well I'll strike a match and it'll catch and<br>

Spread the insight we need<br>

A tiny fire, burning bright<br>

Shedding light on the darkness of greed<br>

<br>

A yes yes y'all<br>

And ya don't stop<br>

Shedding light on the darkness of greed<br>

<br>

A yes yes y'all<br>

And ya don't stop<br>

Shedding light on the darkness of greed<br>

<br>
