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 peaceful 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 rebellionYeah, what about that, sucker? UnhYeah, so you thought you could get with the hard lines 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 a 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 coffinGotta get wreck Till our necks never swing on a rope From here to the cape of no hopeNow freedom must be fundamental In Johannesburg or South Central On the mic, 'cause someone should tell 'em To kick in the township rebellionWhy stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the normWhy stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the normWhat's it gonna take?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 Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm Why stand on a silent platform? Fight the war, fuck the norm
Rage Against The Machine — дебютный студийный альбом рэп-металл группы Rage Against The Machine, выпущенный 11 ноября 1992 года. В 2001 году журнал Q назвал альбом Rage Against The Machine одним из 50 лучших тяжёлых альбомов всех времён. Диск включён в книгу 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (1001 Альбом, которые ты должен услышать до того, как умрёшь). В 2003 году пластинка получила почётное 368 место в списке 500 величайших альбомов всех времён по версии журнала Rolling Stone.
На обложке альбома находится легендарное фото знаменитого Тхить Куанг Дыка, вьетнамского буддийского монаха, сжигающего себя в Сайгоне в 1963 году. Таким жестом монах выразил протест президенту Нго Динь Зьему, гнетущего буддийскую религию.
В 2011 году обложка альбома заняла пятое место в списке лучших обложек альбомов всех времен по мнению читателей интернет издания Music Radar.
