Rage Against The Machine - Renegades of Funk Lyrics

No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now
No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now

Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet earth kept going through changes
And then the renaissance came, the times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
The mighty Renegades

We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)
We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)

We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)
We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)

From a different solar system many many galaxies away
We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelation
And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen
And groove from land to land singin' electronic chants like
Zulu nation
Revelations
Destroy all nations(x2)


Now renegades are the people with their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
We're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday people like you and me
C'mon!


We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)
We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)

We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)
We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)


We're Poppin', sockin', rockin', put a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stop
Poppin', sockin', rockin', put' a side of hip-hop
Because where we're goin' there ain't no stop
We Poppin',and shockin',and rockin', and put a side of our beat!
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' put a side of hip-hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin', put a side of hip-hop!


We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)
We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)

We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)
We're the renegades of funk
(funk!funk!funk!)


We're teachers of the funk
And not of empty popping
We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics
With the bass, and the treble the horns and our vocals
'Cause everytime I pop into the beat we get fresh!

There was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street beat
People would gather from all around
To get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade in those days
To take a man to the dance floor

Say jam sucka!(JAM)
Say jam sucka!(JAM)
Say groove sucka(GROOVE)
Now groove sucka(GROOVE)
Say dance sucka(DANCE)
Say dance sucka(DANCE)
Say move sucka(MOVE)
Now move sucka(MOVE)
(x2)


We're the renegades of funk (funk)
We're the renegades of funk (funk)

We're the renegades of funk (funk)
We're the renegades of funk (funk)

We're the renegades of funk (funk)
We're the renegades of funk (funk)

We're the renegades of funk (funk)
We're the renegades of funk (funk)
