| Lyrics: | Rebel, rebel and yell
'Cause our people still dwell in hell
Locked in a cell
Yes, the
structure's a cell
Mad is the story I tell
How long can we wait?
Come on, seein'
what's at stake
Action for reaction
If your mind's in a somewhat complacent state
Get
a check up
This is a stick up
Our freedom or your life
Lord, I wish I could be
peacful
But there can be no sequel
Now freedom must be fundamental
In
Johannesburg or South Central
On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
To kick in the
township rebellion
Yeah, what about that fucker?
Yeah, so you thought
you could get with the hardlines
That fill your mind
Thoughts, battles fought
And
lessons taught
Yes I'll display the fitness
And flip like a gymnast
Raise my fist and
resist
Asleep, though we stand in the midst
Of the war
Gotta get mine
Gotta get
more
Keepin' the mic warm against the norm
'Cause what does it offer me?
I think
often it's nothin' but a coffin
Gotta get wreck
'Till our necks never swing on a
rope
From here to the cape of no hope
Now freedom must be fundamental
In
Johannesburg or South Central
On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em
To kick in the
township rebellion
Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the war, fuck the
norm (4 times)
(Guitar solo)
Why stand on a silent platform?
Fight the
war, fuck the norm (4 times)
What's it gonna
take?
Euuurrrggghhhhh!
Shackle their minds when they're bent on the cross
When
ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackle their minds when they're left on the cross
When
ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're bent on the cross
When
ignorance reigns, life is lost
Shackled our minds when we're left on the cross
When
ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!
Shackle your minds and you're left
on the cross!
When ignorance reigns, life is lost!
Just shackle your minds when you're
bent on the cross!
When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost!
Why stand on a silent
platform?
Fight the war, fuck the norm (4 times |
