Bombtrack - Live at 1st Avenue, Minneapolis, MN - April 1993

Talkin' about the American Indian movement
 Well in 1977, after a series of long struggles against the BIA
 Get that spotlight out of my fuckin' eye, man
 Get that thing off, talkin' to people I can't even see 'em
 In 1977, after a long series of struggles
 The Oglala Sioux reservation was under attack by the FBI
 People who were involved in the movement there
 Involved in defending their culture, defending their freedom
 Were bein' taken away, were bein' kidnapped
 Were bein' murdered and one man
 Who happened to be one of the leaders of AIM
 Was thrown in jail
 He has sat there for 17 years for crimes he did not commit
 His name is Leonard Peltier, and this brother's been in jail
 And has served his people, and has served true freedom
 And constitutional rights and is being denied his own
 And I think it's a hypocrisy all of us need to expose in this country
 So that if, so that if we wanna raise our voice
 For ourselves here in America the same doesn't happen
 We've got, we've got some pamphlets in the back where we're sellin' some shirts
 Please pick one up, and please send, please, send
 Your name or there's an address you can send of fucking, what's his name?
 Fuckin' Dixey Crack Clinton, whoever that fuckin' punk is
 Let's fill this punk's room full of fuckin' mail
 I know it's not the fuckin' most powerful form of fuckin' change, but
 Let's get this fuckin' ball rollin' all right
 This song is called "Bombtrack"

 One time for ya fuckin' mind, Minnesota
 Check this shit out
 Yeah
 It goes a-1, 2, 3
 Yeah, it's just another bombtrack and suckers be thinkin' that they can fade this
 But, I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
 'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down, hand out some beat-downs
 Cold run a train on punk ho's, that think they run the game
 But I learned to burn that bridge, and delete
 Those who compete at a level that's obsolete
 Instead, I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
 To recall the downfall, and the businesses that burnt us all
 See through the news and the views, that twist reality
 Enough, I call the bluff, fuck Manifest Destiny
 Landlords and power whores, on my people they took turns
 Dispute the suits, I ignite, and then watch 'em burn
 With the thoughts from a militant mind
 Hardline, hardline after hardline
 Landlords and power whores on my people they took turns
 Dispute the suits, I ignite and then watch 'em burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn
 It goes a
 Another funky radical bombtrack, started as a sketch in my notebook
 And now dope hooks make punks take another look
 My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
 That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere
 With the thoughts from a militant, militant mind
 Hardline, after mothafuckin' hardline
 Landlords and power whores on my people they took turns
 Dispute the suits, I ignite and then watch 'em burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
 Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
