Rage Against The Machine (sometimes shortened to Rage or RATM) is an American rock band noted both for its diligent political conscience and for its blend of hard rock and rap. By the time point of the band's break-up in 2000, Rage Against the Machine had become one of the most popular political hard rock bands of all time, and certainly of the 1990s. Following the break-up of the band, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford, and Brad Wilk formed Audioslavewith singer Chris Cornell, formerly of Soundgarden, which had recently disbanded. Rage Against the Machine is now at least temporarily reunited for a series of concerts. Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early metallic instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Public Enemy, and Afrika Bambaataa.

War Within A Breath Lyrics

Rage Against The Machine

Every official that come in
Cripples us leaves us maimed
Silent and tamed
And with our flesh and bones
He builds his homes
Southern fist
Rise through tha jungle mist
Clenched to smash power so cancerous
Black flag and a red star
A rising sun loomin over los angeles
Yes for raza livin in la la
Like gaza on to tha dawn intifada
Reach for the lessons tha masked pass on
Seize tha metropolis
Its you its built on
Everything can change on new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything changed on a new years day
Cmon
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land
Their existence is a crime
Their seat, their robe, their tie
Their land deeds
Their hired guns
Theyre tha crime
Shots heard underground round the rapture
Worlds eye captured
At last is a mexican pasture
Tha masked screaming land or deathwithin a breath
A war from the depth of time
Shot four puppet governors in a line
Shook all tha world bankers
Who think they can rhyme
Shot the landlords who knew it was mine
Yes its a war from the depth of time
And everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Everything can change on a new years day
Cmon
Uh
Wearin the masked scream
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
Its land or death (whispered)
Yeaaaaaah
Uh
Cmon, cmon, yes, yes, yes
Its war within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
War within a breath
Its land or death
