No Shelter Songtext / Lyric

Rage Against The Machine
No Shelter


The act of extraction
got you number than number than numb
Into your pockets, son
They got you thinkin' that what you need is what they sellin'
Made you think that buyin is rebellin'
From the theaters to malls, on every shore
The thin line between entertainment and war
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
Suburban nightmare what you wishin for
I'm as tight as the whip
The truth feathered and tarred
Memories erased and promise gone
Trading your history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life and trauma
Birthright, culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got your searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere

Hospitals not profit full
The market's pull got pockets full
To advertis esome hip disguise
View the world from American eyes
The xxxx keep fiendin' for more
The thin line between entertainment and war
Fix the need
Develop the taste
Buy the products or get laid to waste
Coca-Cola is back in their veins in Saigon
And Rambo troops we gotta new paradise, ugh
Godzilla pure motherfuckin' filler
Get your eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life and trauma
Birthright, culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got your searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

Just stare (x4)
And live the nightmare
