Rage Against The Machine - Take the power back lyrics

Crank the music up

Bring that shit in

Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry

Now check this out

In the right light, study becomes insight

But the system that dissed us

Teaches us to read and right

So called facts are fraud

They want us to allege and pledge

And bow down to their God

Lost the culture, the culture lost

Spun our minds and through time

Ignorance has taken over

Yo, we gotta take the power back

Bam ! Here's the plan

Motherfuck Uncle Sam

Step back, I know who I am

Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear

It's the beats and the lyrics they fear

The rage is relentless

We need a movement with a quickness

You are the witness of change

And to counteract

We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back

Come on, come on

We gotta take the power back

The present curriculum

I put my fist in 'em

Eurocentric every last one of 'em

See right through the red, white and blue disguise

With lecture I puncture the structure of lies

Installed in our minds and attempting

To hold us back

We've got to take it back

'Cause holes in our spirit causin' tears and fears

One-sided stories for years and years and years

I'm inferior ? Who's inferior ?

Yea, we need to check the interior

Of the system that cares about only one culture

And that is why

We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back

Come on, come on

We gotta take the power back

Hey yo check, we're gonna have to break it, break it, break it down

Awww shit

And like this...uggh

Come on, yeah ! Bring it back the other way

The teacher stands in front of the class

But the lesson plan he can't recall

The student's eyes don't perceive the lies

Bouncing off every fucking wall

His composure is well kept

I guess he fears playing the fool

The complacent students sit and listen to some of that

Bullshit that he learned in school

Europe ain't my rope to swing on

Can't learn a thing from it

Yet we hang from it

Gotta get it, gotta get it together then

Like the motherfuckin' weathermen

To expose and close the doors on those who try

To strangle and mangle the truth

'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react

We gotta take the power back

Yeah, we gotta take the power back

Come on, come on

We gotta take the power back

No more lies

Yeah

Take it back Joe

Take it back, a-take it back

A-take it back Joe, come on

Take it back Joe

Take it back, a-take it back

A-take it back Joe, come on

Yeah
