Street Fighting Man (Inst.) Songtext
von Rage Against the Machine

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
′Cause summer's here and the time is right
For fighting in the street, boy

Tell me what can a poor boy do
′Cept for sing for a rock 'n' roll band?
′Cause in this sleepy L.A. town
There′s just no place for a street fighting man

A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man

Do you think the time is right for a palace revolution?
Where I live the game to play is compromise solution

Well then what can a poor boy do
'Cept for sing for a rock ′n' roll band?
′Cause in this sleepy L.A. town
There's just no place for a street fighting man

A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man


Well what else can a poor boy do?
Well what else can a poor boy do?
Well what else can a poor boy do?
Well what else can a poor boy do?

Hey my name is called disturbance
I′ll shout and scream, I'll kill the king
I'll rail at all his servants

Well what can a poor boy do
For sing for a rock ′n′ roll band?
In this sleepy L.A. town
There's just no place for

For a street fighting man
A street fighting man
For a street fighting man
A street fighting man
For a street fighting man

A street fighting man
For a street fighting man
A street fighting man
For a street fighting man
A street fighting man


A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man
A street fighting man
