Rage Against the Machine - Down Rodeo lyrics
[Rage Against the Machine - Down Rodeo lyrics]
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
Bangin' this bolo tight, on this solo flight
Can't fight alone funk the track
My verbs sly like the Family Stone
Them pen devils set the stage
For the war at home locked without a wage
You're standing in the drop zone
The clockers born, starin' at an empty plate
Mama's torn hands cover her sunken face
We hungry but them belly full
The structure is set
Ya never change it with a ballot pull
In the ruins there's a network
For the toxic rock schoolyard to precinct
Suburb to project block
Bosses rode south for new flesh
And a factory floor
The remains left chained to the powder war
Can't waste a day when the
Night brings a hearse
So make a move and plead the fifth
'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day when the
Night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
Yes, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
Yeah bear witness to the sickest shot
While suckers get romantic
They ain't gonna send us campin' like
They did my man Fred Hampton
Still we lampin'
Still clockin' dirt for our sweat
A ballot's dead, so a bullet's what I get
A thousand years they had the tools
We should be takin' 'em fuck the G-ride
I want the machines that are makin' 'em
Our target straight with a room
Full of armed pawns
To off the Kings on the west side at dawn
Can't waste a day when the
Night brings a hearse
Make a move and plead the fifth
'cause ya can't plead the first
Can't waste a day
When the night brings a hearse
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
(The rungs torn from the ladder
Can't reach the tumor)
(One god, one market, one truth
One consumer) just a quiet, peaceful dance
Just a quiet, peaceful dance yeaah
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
For the things we'll never have
Just a quiet, peaceful dance
For the things we don't have
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man
Since their grandparents bought one
So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
Bangin' this bolo tight, on this solo flight
Can't fight alone funk the track
My verbs sly like the Family Stone
