Darkness Of Greed Lyrics - Rage Against The Machine - Xx (20th Anniversary Edition Deluxe Box Set) - Rage Against The Machine

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 

Responsible for genocide 

Responsible for genocide... 

Spoken: 

'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 vaction."'

My people's culture was strong, it was pure 

And if not for that white greed 

It would've 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 

It's brutality can never be undone 

But the sun is not yet set 

The bass and drums and microphones a threat 

That's when ya investigate the crimes from the inside 

And see that they're responsible for genocide 

Responsible for genocide 

Responsible for genocide...

Ya cram ya culture down my throat 

Say I'm inferior when I find that I choke 

Ya 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 

A yes yes y'all 

And ya don't stop 

Shedding light on the darkness of greed 

A yes yes y'all 

And ya don't stop 

Shedding light on the darkness of greed
