Rage Against the Machine

Rage against the machine

Pent up, spent.
Sent up and away.
Away from my warren
For day after day.
But I dig my own
Burrow with the rest,
Commune numbers in safety:
Together we're put to the test.
Bonds under pressure
Form strong and forever,
Unified with a common cause;
Fighting the system together.
Let me just 'ah' dictate this,
Total, tyrannical, 'Do what I say'
Intuition? Reason? Question?
NO! This is the way it's done! Okay!
Dream up a petition,
Bravely gaze anarchy out the window
But beware the Gestapo
They'll catch you. and you can't talk.
You're just a whisper in a puppet show.

We're just passing through a system,
Of tie and pocketed pen.
They're men in the eyes of boys,
But boy's in the eyes of men.
