Rise Songtext
von Primal Scream

A life of work is a life of crime
You pay your taxes, you serve your time
All that money, where does it go?
Schools, prisons, hospitals, roads

Government funding of military science
Genetically engineered ultraviolent
DNA, killer genes to program microchips, marines
See stealth bombers and tomahawks on CNN, pay-per-view war

Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise


Hey, wage slave, where′s your profit share?
They got you down, they're gonna keep you there
Freeze your mind, metamorphose
Cocaine karma in the heroin zone

Multinational life is cheap
Soldiers, workers, maggots meat
Get on up, protest riot
Are you collateral damage or a legitimate target?

Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise

Sweet 16 dehumanized, deaths head factory suicide
Sweet 16 dehumanized, deaths head factory suicide
Sweet 16 dehumanized, deaths head factory suicide
Sweet 16 dehumanized, deaths head factory suicide


Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise
Rise, rise
