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 nowWe're the renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegades
We're renegades of this atomic age
This atomic age of renegadesSince the Prehistoric ages
And the days of ancient Greece
Right down through the Middle Ages
Planet Earth kept going through changesAnd then no renaissance came
And times continued to change
Nothing stayed the same
But there were always renegadesLike Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine
Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X
They were renegades of their time and age
So many renegadesWe're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funkFrom a different solar system
Many, many galaxies away

We are the force of another creation
A new musical revelationAnd we're on this musical mission
To help the others listen
And groove from land to land
Singin' electronic chants likeZulu nation
Revelations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nationsDestroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nations
Destroy our nationsNow renegades are the people
With their own philosophies
They change the course of history
Everyday, people like you and meWe're the renegades we're the people
With our own philosophies
We change the course of history
Everyday, people like you and me, c'monWe're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funkWe're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip hop
'Cause where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'
Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip hop
'Cause where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin'Poppin' n' sockin' n' rockin' n' puttin' a side of hip hop
'Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip hop
Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip hopWe're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funkWe'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 freshC'mon
C'monThere was a time when our music
Was something called the Bay Street Beat
People would gather from all aroundTo get down to the big sound
You had to be a renegade those days
To take a man to the dance floorSay jam sucker, jam
Say jam sucker, jam
Say groove sucker, groove
Now groove sucker, grooveSay dance sucker, dance
Say dance sucker, dance
Now move sucker, move
Now move sucker, moveSay jam sucker, jam
Say jam sucker, jam
Say groove sucker, groove
Now groove sucker, grooveSay dance sucker, dance
Say dance sucker, dance
Now move sucker, move
Now move sucker, moveWe're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funkWe're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk
We're the renegades of funk

Rage Against the Machine is an American rap metal band, formed in 1991 in Los Angeles, California. They are often mis-categorized as nu metal or rapcore. The band's line-up comprises vocalist Zack De La Rocha, guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk. Critics have noted Rage Against the Machine for its "fiercely polemical music, which brewed sloganeering leftist rants against corporate America, cultural imperialism, and government oppression into a Molotov cocktail of hardcore punk, hip hop, alternative metal, and funk." Rage Against the Machine drew inspiration from early heavy metal instrumentation, as well as rap acts such as Afrika Bambaataa, Public Enemy and Beastie Boys.

In 1992, the band released its self-titled debut album, which became a commercial success, leading to a slot in the 1993 Lollapalooza. The band did not release a follow-up record until 1996, with Evil Empire. The band's third album The Battle of Los Angeles was released in 1999. During their initial nine year run, they became one of the most popular and influential political bands in contemporary music.

Shortly after breaking up in 2000, the band released the cover album Renegades. De la Rocha & Morello both started low-key solo careers; the rest of the band formed the rock supergroup Audioslave with Chris Cornell, then-former frontman of Soundgarden, which disbanded in 2007, and in April of that year, Rage Against the Machine performed together for the first time in seven years at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The band has continued to perform at many live venues and festivals around the world since 2007 but have not recorded any new studio material, as of yet.

Due to a popular Facebook Campaign in 2009, the band managed to beat Joe McElderry, winner of the X Factor 2009, to the UK Christmas number one spot. This broke the chain of X Factor winners reaching the Christmas number one spot. To celebrate, Rage Against the Machine held a free gig to show their gratitude towards their fans.
