Race Against The Machine - Calm Like a Bomb

i be walkin god like a dog
my narrative fearless
word war returnto burn
like baldwin home from paris
like steel from the furnace
i was born landless
this is the native son
born of zapata's guns
stroll through the shanties
and the cities remains
same bodies buried hungry
but with different last names
these voultures robbin' everything
leave nothin' but chains
pick a point on the globe
yes the pictures the same
there's a bank there's a church
a myth and a hearse
a mall and a loan
a child dead at birth
there's a window pig parrot
a rebel to tame
a whitehooded judge
a syringe and a vein
and the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

calm like bomb

this ain't subliminal
feel the critical mass approach horizon
pulse of the condemned sound off
america's demise
the anti-myth rythm rock shocker yes i spit fire
hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires
yes back through the shanties
and the cities remains
same bodies buried hungry
but with different last names
these voultures robbin' everyone
leave nothin' but chains
pick a point here at home
yes the pictures the same
there's a field full of slaves
some corn and some debt
there's a ditch full of bodies
the check for the rent
there's the tap the phone
the silence of stone
the numb black screen that
be feelin like home
and the riot be the rhyme of the unheard

calm like a bomb

there's a mass without roofs
there's a prison to fill
there's a country's soul that
reads post no bills
there's a strike in a line of cops
outside of the mill
'cause there's a right to obey
and there's a right to kill
