Year Of The Boomerang

Rage Against the Machine

 

Tha sistas are in so check the front line

Seems I spent the '80s in the Haiti state of mind

Cast me into classes for electro shock

Straight incarcerated, the curriculum's a cell block

I'm swimmin' in half truths and it makes me wanna spit

Instructor come separate the healthy from tha sick

Ya weigh me on a scale, smellin' burnt skin

It's dark now in Dachau and I'm screamin' from within

'Cause I'm cell locked in tha doctrines of tha right

Enslaved by dogma, talk about my birthrights

Yet at every turn I'm runnin' into hell's gates

So I grip tha cannon like Fanon an pass tha shells to my classmates

Aw, power to tha people

'Cause tha bosses right ta live is mine ta die

So I'm goin' out heavy sorta like Mount Tai

Wit tha five centuries of penitentiary so let tha guilty hang

In tha year of tha boomerang

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

So let tha guilty hang

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

In the year of tha boomerang

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

So let tha guilty hang

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

In the year of tha boomerang

Yeah!

Now it's upon you!

Now it's upon you!

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

Uh! In the year of tha boomerang

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

So let tha guilty hang

I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it

In the year of tha boomerang

Yeah!

Now it's upon you!

Now it's upon you!

You! You! You! You! You! You! You! You!
