Andy Wallace - Down Rodeo lyrics

[Intro: Zack de la Rocha] Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man Since their grandparents bought one So, now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man Since their grandparents bought one So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun! [Verse 1: Zack de la Rocha] Bangin' this bolo tight, on this solo flight, can't fight alone Funk the track, my verbs sly like the Family Stone Them pen devils set the stage for the war at home Locked without a wage, you're standing in the drop zone The clockers born, starin' at an empty plate Mama's torn hands, cover her sunken face We hungry but them belly full The structure is set, ya never change it with a ballot pull In the ruins there's a network for the toxic rock Schoolyard to precinct, suburb to project block Bosses rode south for new flesh and a factory floor The remains left chained to the powder war [Hook: Zack de la Rocha] Can't waste a day, when the night brings a hearse! So make a move and plead the fifth cause ya can't plead the first! Can't waste a day, when the night brings a hearse! So, now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man Since their grandparents bought one! Yes, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man Since their grandparents bought one! So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun! [Guitar Solo: Tom Morello] [Verse 2: Zack de la Rocha] Yeah Bare witness to the sickest shot while s**ers get romantic They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton Still we lampin', still clockin' dirt for our sweat A ballot's dead, so a bullet's what I get A thousand years they had the tools, we should be takin' 'em f** the G-ride, I want the machines that are makin' em! Our target straight with a room full of armed pawns To off the Kings on the WestSide at dawn [Hook: Zack de la Rocha] Can't waste a day, when the night brings a hearse! Make a move and plead the fifth cause ya can't plead the first! Can't waste a day, when the night brings a hearse! So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man Since their grandparents bought one! Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man Since their grandparents bought one! Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun! [Outro: Zack de la Rocha] (The rungs torn from the ladder, can't reach the tumor) (One god, one market, one truth, one consumer) Just a quiet, peaceful dance! Just a quiet, peaceful dance! Yeaaaaaaaaaah! Just a quiet, peaceful dance! Just a quiet, peaceful dance! {whispers} Just a quiet, peaceful dance For the things we'll never have Just a quiet, peaceful dance For the things we don't have
