Rage Against the Machine: No Shelter

(New video set to this song)

"No Shelter"
Rage Against the Machine
Posted on AlterNet



The main attraction, distraction
got ya number than numb
Empty ya pockets son,
they got you thinkin that
What ya need is what they sellin
Make you think that buyin is rebellin'
From the theaters to malls on every shore
The thin line between entertainment and war

The frontline is everywhere,
there will be no shelter here

Spielberg the nightmare works so push it far
Amistad was a whip,
the truth feathered and tarred
Memories erased and burned and scarred
Trade in ya history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth reich culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
The thin line between entertainment and war

There'll be no shelter here!
The thin line is everywhere
There'll be no shelter here!
The thin line is everywhere

Hospitals not profit full
The market bull's got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View the world from American eyes

Tha poor adore keep feeding for more
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
Fix the need, develop the taste
Buy their products or get laid to waste

Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he's got a dope pair of Nikes on
Godzilla pure mother f**kin filler
Get your eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth reich culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There'll be no shelter here!
The thin line is everywhere
There'll be no shelter here!
The thin line is everywhere

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin behind

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin behind

Just stare!
Just stare!
Just stare!
Just stare!

Relive the nightmare!

Lyrics by Zack de la Rocha.
