Rage Against the Machine - Testify (Original Version) текст песни

Here we go

9-5 is the blood for your sweat

Pay the landlord, he's taking your blood for the rent

Yo

The balance dead so a bullet's what I get

When my Mao-Say-Tung gets offensive like Tet

The whip snapped my back

My spine cracked

For tobacco

I'm the Marlboro man

Can I make London bridges fall

If they do me like Mumia Abu-Jamal

Nobody move

Nobody move

86 Philly pigs drive a whole city block

And I'm campin' like Hampton

Read the word of the innocent

Yet death row is locked

Capitol-i-ism

check the wrong rhythm

And so they say let Saigons be Saigons

But wait a Ho-Chi-minute

Waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearse

Make a move and plead the fifth,

Ya can't plead the first

Are you ready to testify?

Get ready to testify

Are you ready to testify?

Get ready to testify

The revolutionary aesthetic

Black leather, beret and powder blue

However meanacing this human form on the outside looks

Without revolutionary action

It's ever so translucent

I stand admist grandeous gestures

Postures and platforms of romanticism

Creating more noise than answers

Creating more noise than the sirens

That keep our children crouched in corners

I sit and watch us do the blind man's dance

And I can't stand the smell of false composure

So i take a Ho-Chi minute to meditate

And think

And then tune to the word of Jose Matin

Doing is the best way of saying

Doing is the best way of saying

Doing is the best way of saying

Doing is the best way of saying

9-5 is the blood for your sweat

Pay the landlord, he's taking your blood for the rent Yo

The balance dead so a bullet's what I get

When my Mao-Say-Tung gets effective like tet

The whip snap my back

My spine crack

Front to back

Ohhh what a Marlboro man

Can I make London bridges fall

If they do me like Mumia Abu-Jamal

Nobody move

Nobody move

86 Philly pigs drive a whole city block

And I'm campin' like Hampton

Read the word of the innocent

Yet death row is locked

Capitol-i-ism

check the wrong rhythm

And so they say let Saigons be Saigons

But wait a Ho-Chi-minute

Waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearse

Make a move and plead the fifth,

Ya can't plead the first

Are you ready to testify?

Get ready to testify

Are you ready to testify?

Get ready to testify

c'mon

Doing is the best way of saying

Doing is the best way of saying
