Rage Against The Machine Lyrics

 

"Testify"

 

UGH!

 

The movie ran through me

The glamour subdue me

The tabloid untie me

I'm empty please fill me

Mister anchor assure me

That Baghdad is burning

Your voice it is so soothing

That cunning mantra of killing

I need you my witness

To dress this up so bloodless

To numb me and purge me now

Of thoughts of blaming you

Yes the car is our wheelchair

My witness your coughing

Oily silence mocks the legless

Ones who travel now in coffins

On the corner

The jury's sleepless

We found your weakness

And it's right outside our door

Now testify

 

Now testify

It's right outside our door

Now testify

Yes testify

It's right outside our door

 

With precision you feed me

My witness I'm hungry

Your temple it calms me

So I can carry on

My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones

On a bed of fire I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home

The wrecking ball is rushing

Witness your blushing

The pipeline is gushing

While here we lie in tombs

While on the corner

The jury's sleepless

We found your weakness

And it's right outside our door

Now testify

Yeah testify

It's right outside our door

Now testify

Now testify

It's right outside our door

 

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set

 

Who controls the past now controls the future

Who controls the present now controls the past

Who controls the past now controls the future

Who controls the present now?

 

Now testify

Testify

It's right outside our door

Now testify

Testify

It's right outside our door
