Wake Up Lyrics
Artist(Band):Rage Against The Machine
Review The Song (30)Print the Lyrics
Come on!
Uggh!

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never read it
The needle, I'll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin' with the fury that they had in '66
And like E-Double I'm mad
Still knee-deep in the system's shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I'll give ya a dose
But it can never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
'Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Yeah!
Yeah, back in this...
Wit' poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
'Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I'm like takin' photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin' people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Uggh!
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!


I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

'He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'
'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers... and neutralize them.
Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers... and neutralize them
and neutralize them, and neutralize them, and neutralize them'

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow

Review about Wake Up

No more lies | Reviewer: Panos | 8/24/09

Face it no one gives a damn about truth and shit.no one makes music because he wants to show u what's really happens they all do it for money so they will be able to fuck some chicks.don't you ever try to find truths when listening to music..no one will tell you anything.the truth is that capitalism gives you the motivation to be a better man in every part of your life..


if a capitalist society makes a person feel like being a better person at the expense of others and causes suffering how can you feel better about yourself. what makes a person better money going to church the american dream? well the american dream corrupts the world and segregates its people causing thm to hate each other and to strike with war. killing innocence and glorifying greed to developing countries and cause a rift in their own countries thats the real truth. to find it we only need to ask about everything where do we get the stuff we get, what happens for the material good we use to be in our posession. we need to look further into our own lives to see how we are living off others pain and suffering. if anyone wants to contest this thats fine we all have our opinions we are individuals but i challenge you to see if you truely believe yorself or if its just a self defense, self preservation tool to make us think we are right about our lifestyle i was a different person before that thought i was always right and never thought or cared about anyone else now i see that every person is sacred and deserves happiness lets be one for the first time in existense.



The true | Reviewer: Leo | 10/15/09

This is a good song.It speak about the civil right movement and mentions many prominent figures such MLKJ and Malcom X. As far as music is concern there are many song which speak the just listen to some Bob Marley like Redemption Song,One love all most Reggae and some Dancehall like Same Ting Again by Baby Sham. Music is full of truth just take time to listen and I'm a fan of this song and its message. Just listen to some conscious tune people and hear the truth and P.S America was built of the land of the Indians, the sweat of the Africans, and the greed of the white man.Maybe Marx was on to sometime. Success is a bad thing when it comes from others hard work but does not benefit them.

Worthless Neo-Marxists | Reviewer: JRC | 7/27/09

Hypocrites. America-bashing wankers who makes millions on the capitalistic sales of their hate-filled albums. Kinda like most Obama voters, they gripe and whine and complain, but have no idea how the world really works. They’re made at Steve Forbes because he’s rich. Since when is success a bad thing?

Shut up and sing…



jose rizal | Reviewer: don | 4/3/09

this as what our National hero Dr. Jose Rizal does, no need to have a bloody revolution against the Spanish Gov't...but by writing books and novels he wake up the entire Philippine Nation to stand for our rights in order free from discrimination... ZACK idol!



non-violant yet powerfull revolution ! | Reviewer: anti-system ! | 9/14/08

thank u zack de larocha and the guys in RATM ,thank u serj tankian and the guys in SOAD for raising this much awareness !



I luv it | Reviewer: B00n3 | 7/20/08

I've known for a while that this song had some kinda meaning to it. Sadly, I'm only a kid, and I have no experience in figuring meanings of songs such as this one. So, referably, I look up the lyrics to see how well the dude who submitted 'em and check to see if anybody got the meaning. I also need some social experience and history classes. =(
Now that I know what this is about, I'm in agreement with the people who figured the song out. I need to look up the people said in the song, and then I might have a little more understandment about such songs and be able to figure 'em out on my own. On to good ol' Wikipedia! =P



Who is Cassius? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/9/08

"Then stick and move like I was Cassius"
Is a refference to the famous boxer Cassius Clay later known as Muhammad Ali.

Cassius Clay publically spoke out against the Vietnam war, and ultimately became a draft-dodger as he refused to go even after he was recruited. Sent to prison (which lost him his Olympic Gold Medal as well as his Heavyweight Title), he discovered Islam, and became Muhammad Ali.



Ron Paul, just another meaningless figure. | Reviewer: Joel | 4/9/08

Yes, this talks about civil rights. Yes, this talks about government oppression. Yes, this goes deeper.

Movements come and movements go. Leaders speak, movements cease when their heads are flown.

This is the line that all Ron Paul people should focus on. When a movement is pledged to nonviolence, they end prematurely the moment the leader is taken out. There is no continuation because the followers, ie sheep of the movement, have been indoctrinated against violence. The only threat is the leader itself. When a movement does not take war off the table, such as the founding fathers, then every individual becomes a threat. The movement can continue on after the leader's demise.

And yes, I know about the changes happening to local and state GOPs across the country due to Ron Paul's delegates. Yes, I have been part of that. And yes, I would love for this movement to work through peaceful means, but it won't last. Once we get complacent in what we've accomplished, tyranny will win. It always does. You cannot unseat the true rulers of the US democratic monarchy through peaceful means.

Why would a king give up his throne unless there was a sword to his throat? We can't truly get our republic back without crossing blades. Any change made through the pacifistic Ron Paul movement will only be temporary.

The only difference between Ron Paul and Martin Luther King is that a lot of people in the Ron Paul camp feel the same way I do. Thus, Ron Paul will be allowed to live to keep preaching non-violence until he dies of old age. If he was assassinated, that just might be the spark required for real change.
