Bombtrack
Rage Against the Machine Lyrics

Ugh
Expressing disgust or negative emotion.

Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack ugh
The song is another explosive anthem of defiance.

Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack yeah
Reinforcing that this is just another powerful song.

It goes a-one, two, three
Simple counting, setting up the rhythm of the song.

Again, it's just another bombtrack
Reiterating the explosive nature of the song.

And suckas be thinkin' that they can fade this
People underestimate the power and influence of the song.

But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
The song will exceed expectations and deliver a message that is powerful and impactful.

Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
The artist is willing to get down on the same level as those they are fighting against.

Hand out some beat-downs
The artist will stand up to those who oppress others.

Cold runna train on punk ho's that
The artist will fight relentlessly against those who think they control the game.

Think they run the game
Those who have abused their power believe that they are in charge.

But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
The artist learned to cut out toxic people and relationships in order to move forward.

Those who compete at a level that's obsolete
People who operate on outdated, oppressive systems need to be left behind in order to create a better future.

Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
The artist finds comfort and hope in the symbol of their nation, even as they see it burning.

As I recall our downfall
Reflecting on the struggles and setbacks of their community.

And the business that burned us all
The greed and corruption of corporations has negatively impacted everyone.

See through the news and the views that twist reality
The artist is skeptical of mainstream news sources that present a biased or incomplete version of events.

Enough
The artist has had enough of living in a broken system.

I call the bluff
The artist is calling out those who claim to be in power.

Fuck manifest destiny
Rejecting the idea that certain people or nations are destined to rule over others.

Landlords and power whores
Those who control the land and the wealth are the enemy.

On my people they took turns
The wealthy and powerful have systematically oppressed marginalized communities throughout history.

Dispute the suits I ignite
The artist will not take orders from those who wear fancy clothes and hold positions of power.

And then watch 'em burn
The artist wants to see those who abuse their power brought down and punished.

With the thoughts from a militant mind
The artist is committed to fighting against the oppressors.

Hardline, hardline after hardline
A repetitive chant emphasizing the artist's unyielding stance.

Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Those who abuse their power will ultimately face the consequences of their actions.

Hey yo, it's just another bombtrack, yeah
The song concludes where it began, emphasizing its explosive nature and powerful message.
