Tom Morello - Renegades Of Funk lyrics

[Note: a cover of Afrika Bambaataa's "Renegades of Funk" with lyrics changes] No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now.. No matter how hard you try, you can't stop us now.. We're the Renegades of this atomic AGE.. This atomic age of Renegades! Renegades of this atomic AGE.. This atomic age of Renegades! Since the Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece Right down through the Middle Ages, planet Earth kept going through changes And then no renaissance came, and times continued to change Nothing stayed the same, but there were always Renegades Like Chief Sitting Bull, Tom Paine Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcom X They were Renegades of their time and age So many Renegades! Hook: We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! From a different solar system Many, many galaxies away We are the force of another creation, a new musical revelation And we're on this musical mission to help the others listen And groove from land to land, singin' electronic chants like Zulu Nation...Revelations.. Destroy our nations.. Destroy our nations.. Destroy our nations.. Destroy our nations.. Destroy our nations.. Destroy our nations.. Now Renegades are the people with their own philosophies They change the course of history Everyday people like you and me We're the Renegades, we're the people with our own philosophies We change the course of history Everyday people like you and me C'MON! Hook: We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! With Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin' Poppin', sockin', puttin' a side of hip-hop Because where we're goin' there ain't no stoppin' Poppin' and sockin' and rockin' and puttin' a side of hip-hop Cause we're poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of hip-hop Poppin', sockin', rockin' puttin' a side of HIP-HOP!! Hook: We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're teachers of the funk and not of empty popping We're blessed with the force and the sight of electronics With the ba**, and the treble, the horns, and our vocals Cause everytime I pop into the beat, we get FRESH!! [*drum break*] C'MON!! [Guitar riff] C'MON! There was a time when our music Was something called "The Bay Street" beat People would gather from all around To get down to the big sound You had to be a Renegade in those days.. To take a man to the dance floor.. [Zack with a sample of the Soulsonic Force] Say jam s**a! ("Jam s**a!") Say jam s**a! ("Jam s**a!") Say groove s**a ("Groove s**a!") Now groove s**a ("Groove s**a!") Say dance s**a! ("Dance s**a!") Say dance s**a! ("Dance s**a!") Now move s**a! ("Move s**a!") Now move s**a! ("Move s**a!") Say jam s**a! ("Jam s**a!") Say jam s**a! ("Jam s**a!") Say groove s**a ("Groove s**a!") Now groove s**a ("Groove s**a!") Say dance s**a! ("Dance s**a!") Say dance s**a! ("Dance s**a!") Now move s**a! ("Move s**a!") Now move s**a! ("Move s**a!") Hook [with some weird humming]: We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!! We're the Renegades of FUNK!!
