Geneous Lyrics..

[Forward Union]

This is taken from an RATM song called No Shelter. If you haven't heard it, that probably because it was never put onto an album, i can send it to you on MSN if you really want to hear it. Anyway, i checked out the lyrics and though, wow there's alot of truth behind that. I hilighted in red some of my fave lines, what are your opinions.


The main attraction - distraction
got ya number than nnumber 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
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here
Speilberg the nightmare works so push it far
Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred
Memory erased, 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
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
Tha frontline is everywhere

Hospitals not profit full
Yet market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View tha world from American eyes
Tha poor adore keep fiendin for more
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
They 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 got a dope pair of Nikes on
And Godzilla pure muthafuckin filler
To keep ya eyes off the real killer

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

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

Just stare
Relive the nightmare.

[Urban Rubble]

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
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here
Speilberg the nightmare works so push it far
Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred
Memory erased, burned and scarred
Trade in ya history for a VCR

Considering what this guy does for a living (entertainment and marketing) this is possibly the most hypocritical thing ever.


Fourth Reich culture - Americana

Comparing the U.S to Nazi Germany makes me laugh.


To advertise some hip disguise

Like the guerilla inspired clothing RATM used to market on a massive scale ? Hypocrisy #2.


Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on

Coming from a guy who drives a HUMMER, this has no credibility. Hypocrisy #3.

Why does one person's belief in anothers words discredit the words of the person who originally spoke them?

[Urban Rubble]

It doesn't, where the hell did you get that ? The fact that Zach De La Rocha rails against corporations like Nike, but has no problem driving a Hummer (and wearing Adidas) shows that he is a huge hypocrite.

I wasn't calling the kid who started the thread a hypocrite.
