Darkness Lyrics - Live & Rare - Rage Against The Machine

Greed, causing innocent blood to flow 

Entire culture lost in the overthrow 

They came to see, to take whatever they please 

And all they gave back was death and disease 

People were left with no choice but to decide 

To conform to a system responsible for genocide 

Responsible for genocide, responsible for genocide 

Responsible for genocide 

AIDS is killing the entire African nation 

And a vaccine is still supposedly under preparation 

But these governments, they don't mind the procrastination 

They say we'll kill them off, take their land and go there for vacation 

Peoples' culture was strong and was pure 

And if not for that white greed, it would have endured 

People were left with no choice but to decide 

To conform to a system

Souls engaged 

Minds enslaved 

Now feel the rage 

Brutality can never be undone 

But the sun has not yet set 

The bass and drums and microphone a threat 

That's when you've got to get the cry from the inside 

And see that they're responsible for genocide 

Responsible for genocide, responsible for genocide 

You jam your culture down my throat 

Say, I'm inferior when upon it I choke 

You fill my mind with a false sense of history 

And then you wonder why I have no identity 

We'll strike a match and it'll catch 

And spread the insight we need 

A tiny fire burning bright 

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

Yes, yes, y'all and you don't stop 

Shedding light on the darkness of greed 

Yes, yes, y'all and you don't stop 

Shedding light on the darkness of greed
