Rage Against the Machine - Calm Like a Bomb lyrics

Feel the funk blast feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast feel the funk blast
Feel the funk blast
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, check it out, yo, yo
Yo

I be walkin' God like a dog, my narrative
Fearless my word war returns to burn
Like Baldwin home from Paris
Like Steel from a furnace
I was born landless
This is the native son, born of Zapata's guns
Stroll through the shanties and
The cities' remains
Same bodies buried hungry but
With different last names
The vultures rob everything
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point on the globe, yes
The picture's the same
There's a bank, there's a church
A myth and a hearse
A mall and a loan, a child dead at birth
There's a widow pig parrot, a rebel to tame
A white hooded judge, a syringe and a vein
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What you say, what you say, what you say
What?
What you say, what you say, what you say
What?
What you say, what you say, what you say
What?
What you say, what you say, what you say
What?

I'm calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
I'm calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)

This ain't subliminal
Feel the critical mass approach horizon
Pulse of the condemned
Sound off America's demise
The anti-myth rhythm rock shocker, yes
I spit fire
Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
Yes, back through the shanties
And the cities' remains
Same bodies buried hungry
(Uh, huh) , but with
Different last names (Uh, huh)
Them vultures robbin' everyone
Leave nothing but chains
Pick a point here at home, yes
The picture's the same
There's a field full of slaves
Some corn and some debt
There's a ditch full of bodies
The check for the rent
There's a tap, the phone
The silence of stone
The numb black screen that
Be feelin' like home
And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

What you say, what you say, what you say
What?
What you say, what you say, what you say
What?
What you say, what you say, what you say
What?
What you say, what you say, what you say
What?

Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
I'm calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)

Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
Calm like a bomb
(Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite
Ignite, ignite, ignite, ignite)
Calm like a bomb

There's a mass without roofs
There's a prison to fill
There's a country's soul that
Reads post no bills
There's a strike and a line of
Cops outside of the mill
There's a right to obey and
There's a right to kill
There's a mass without roofs
There's a prison to fill
There's a country's soul that
Reads post no bills
There's a strike and a line of
Cops outside of the mill
'Cause there's a right to obey and
There's the right to kill
