Testify Songtext
von Rage Against the Machine

The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untie me
I′m empty, please fill me

Mister Anchor, assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice, it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing

I need you, my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you

Yes, the car is our wheelchair
My witness, your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless
Ones who travel now in coffins


On the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it′s right outside your door

Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Yes, testify
It's right outside your door

With precision you feed me
My witness, I′m hungry
Your temple, it calms me
So I can carry on

My slaving, sweating
The skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire, I′m choking
On the smoke that fills my home

The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness, you're blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs


While on the corner
The jury′s sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Yeah, testify
It′s right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
Well, it's right outside your door

Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set
Mass graves for the pump and the price is set
And the price is set

Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?

Now testify
Testify
It′s right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
