Voice Of The Voiceless Lyrics

Artist: Rage Against The Machine
Album: The Battle Of Los Angeles

Through steel walls
Your voice blastin' on
True rebel my brother Mumia
I reflect upon
You be tha spark
That set all tha prairie fires on
Make tha masses a mastodon path
To trample tha fascists on
At fifteen exposed Philly's finest killing machine
With boots and mad guns
They tried to pacify you young
Cause and effect
Smell tha smoke and tha breeze
My panther my brother
We are at war until you're free

You'll never silence tha voice of tha voiceless

You see tha powerful got nervous
Cause he refused to be their servant
'Cause he spit truth
That shook heads
And burned like black churches
Prose and verses
A million poor in hearses
Watch tha decision of Dred Scott
As it reserves
So long as tha rope
Is tight around Mumia's neck
Let there be no rich white life
We bound to respect
Cause and effect
Can't ya smell tha smoke in tha breeze
My panther my brother we are at war until you're free

You'll never silence tha voice of tha voiceless

And Orwell's hell a terror era coming through
But this little brother's watching you too

You see tha powerful got nervous
Cause he refused to be their servant
'Cause he spit truth
That shook heads
And burned like black churches

Everythin they say is truth, they are fuckin awsome....

Man This album is some of the best work they did. I have not heard a rage song that I did not like. This song makes the mind insightful.

This song beats! But in the last line who is meant with Orwell?

by Mark on 5/18/2014 9:30pm
the line "and orwell's hell, a terror era coming through" refers to the book 1984, in which orwell rights about a future where an absolute dictatorship has taken over most of the planet and is constantly maintaining surveillance on its citizens in the hopes of weeding out anyone who doesn't abide by their strict doctrine of orthodoxy. de la rocha puts a spin on the ideas written by george orwell by stating that the other side of the scrutiny and surveillance in our society today is also keeping a close eye on us, with "little brother" most likely referring to younger black people
