Greed
Causing innocent blood to flow
Entire culture lost in the overthrow
They came to see, take whatever they please
Then all they gave back was death and disease
People were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide, Responsible for genocide
AIDS is killing the entire African nation
And the 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 vacation
My peoples' culture was strong and was pure
And if not for that white greed, it would have endured
My people were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system
Their minds enslaved
Their souls encaged
You feel the rage
This brutality can never be undone
But the sun has not yet set
The bass and drums and microphone a threat
That's when you've got to get the cry from the inside
And see that they're responsible for genocide
Responsible for genocide, Responsible for genocide
You jam your culture down my throat
Say I'm inferior when upon it I choke
You fill my mind with a false sense of history
And then you wonder why I have no identity
We'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
Yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
Shedding light on the darkness of greed
Yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop
Shedding light on the darkness of greed

though ratm is near a end, their words will never be forgotten .The fire of rebel will be succeed by generation and generation.The under would never rest their arms ,and struggle shall continue till the final peace be given to this world.
The end is near.The great change is coming!
This song is the most intense and inspiring song about the indigenous people of the Americas. Revenge will be had and justice will come. Even though Zach has abandoned his beliefs, and left us without a much needed leader to this movement, the words left behind have been burned into our skulls and will not be forgotten. They may have broken him, but the damage he has done to their image is evident. The dawn of a new era comes.
