Live as a Lion

"It’s better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb" - Anonymous (graffiti Art Photographed by George Rodriguez in 1970)

Anarchist, and musical genius Zach De la Rocha is Back.
sounds to me like he still has a bone to pick with corrupt government.

the following are the Lyrics to the "One Day as a Lion" track 'if you fear dying'
simply amazing in my opinion.

The bastard son I spit non fiction
in exile for a while now with raw friction
never be a pawn the boomerang be upon you
I'm like fela with my heart in Venezuela
Its a world favela so fuck the novella
I'm out of the cellar with a blade and some cheddar
for the whole new world order
you to bow down to the now sound of slavery
this era be terrible; terror filled, terrified
why would we ever let a few white Christian fictions
shape our tomorrow following them
cause tomorrow got a gun to its head

Time is coming!
Rising like the dawn of a red sun
If you fear Dying
Then your already dead

I'm in with the spirit of Ali Toure
as I target more heads than a priest on ash wednesday.
Paid and hanging you pigs on gold ropes
have the mic or my heater but you can't hold both
you could snatch one and catch the blast of the other
I'm chicano soprano high off my pitch amo
I'm a put a crack in your diamond pimp cup
so vest up, I'm your cross turned right side up.
I'm the press leak that downed your aide
I'm the orange jump suit thats tailor made
I'm the crescent, the sickle, so sharp, the blade
I'm the flick of the shank that opens your veins
I'm the dusk I'm the frightening calm
I'm the hole in the pipeline, I'm a roadside bomb

Time is coming!
rising like the dawn of a red sun!
If you fear dying,
Then your already Dead!
