Rage Against The Machine - Darkness

Greed, causing innocent blood to flow Entire culture lost in the overthrow They came to seize and take whatever they please Then all they gave back was death and disease My people were left with no choice but to decide To conform to a system 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" My people's culture was strong, it was pure And if not for that white greed it would have endured My people were left with no choice but to decide, to conform to a system Their minds enslaved, their souls encaged, I feel the rage Its brutality can never be undone, but the sun is not yet set The bass and drums and microphones a threat That's when you investigate the crimes from the inside And see that they're responsible for genocide You cram your culture down my throat Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke You fill my mind with a false sense of history And then you wonder why I have no identity Well, I'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
