No Shelter — Rage Against the Machine

No Shelter Song Lyrics

---

The act of extraction, got you number than number than numb
Into your pockets, son, they got you thinkin' that
What you need is what they sellin', made you think that buyin' is rebellin'
From the theaters to malls, on every shore,
the thin line between entertainment and war
The front line is everywhere, there be no shelter here

Suburban nightmare what you wishin' for
I'm as tight as the whip, the truth feathered and tarred
Memories erased and promise gone, trading your history for a VCR
Cinema, simulated life and trauma, birthright, culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for,
the thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere

Hospitals, not profit full, the market's pull got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise, view the world from American eyes
The (??) keep feedin' for more, the thin line between entertainment and war
Fix the need, develop the taste
Buy the products or get laid to waste

Coca-Cola is back in their veins in Saigon
And Rambo troops we gotta new paradise, huh
Godzilla pure motherf**kin' filler, get your eyes off the real killer
Cinema, simulated life and trauma, birthright, culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for,
the thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere
There be no shelter here, the front line is everywhere

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind

Just stare
Just stare
Just stare
Just stare and live the nightmare
