Bombtrack Lyrics
Ughh! Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...ughh!
Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...yeah!
It goes a-one, two three and
It's just another bombtrack
And suckas be thinkin' that they can fade this
But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
Hand out some beat-downs
Cold runna train on punk ho's that
Think they run the game
But I learned to burn that bridge and delete
Those who compete at a level that's obsolete
Instead I warm my hands upon the flames of the flag
As I recall our downfall
And the business that burned us all
See through the news and the views that twist reality
Enough
I call the bluff
Manifest destiny
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
With the thoughts from a militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Yes ya gonna burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
It goes a-one, two, three
Another funky radical bombtrack
Started as a sketch in my notebook
And now dope hooks make punks take another look
My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to fear
That ya card will get pulled if ya interfere
With the thoughts from a militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Yes ya gonna burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Euurrrggghhhhh!
Uggh! Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...
Check it out...
Modified chorus
Burn!
Hey you, it's just another bombtrack...yeah!
It goes a-one, two three and

Hand out some beat-downs
Cold runna train on punk ho's that

this song isn't about Zapatistas (indians in mexico dealing with the mexican land divisions)... its about Native Americans in the US... this song was written before the movement even was known...
Landlords and power whores (the feds) On my people they took turns (opression) Dispute the suits I ignite (treaties, lawsuits, rebellion, etc.) And then watch 'em burn (burn as in deny them...)
now he says he is gonna fight back
they are gonna burn... as in its their turn.. so the one guy is right... but its about US Native Americans.. hence the manifest destiny.. oh and he was using that to explain their justification for their opression
oh.. and forget the stars... stupideest guy ever.. listening to rage=dumb? name one more band of the 90s that reached out politically to as many ppl? you can't... you were to busy listening to the ""underground"" ""beats"" of Limp Bizkit and Korn? wren't ya? u pansy
thanks to bands like korn, deftones, and others from the same era that were on the mainstream (back then) I became more interested in learnig what came before them in music, like ratm, cyppress hil, rhcp, pantera, helmet, metallica, sabbath, and all kinds of bands from different genres, cause the so called "nu metal" movement was always about opening your mind and embracing new types of music, so they kinda opened the door for me to discover so much shit that I'm into now. I think there's no point in putting down any band, music is about coming together.. I´m...

I think there's no point in putting down any band, music is about coming together.. I´m from Paraguay, southamerica, and it´s because of music that I'm able to comunicate with you, since it helped me a lot when I was learnig your language.. piensa en todo eso amigo
Well you must be misinformed as well, forget the stars, because America was established on the east coast, so expanding all the way to it would mean America would stay on the east coast, so I believe you should be more informed before making claims. And btw, it wasn't the idea of expanding to the east coast, it was actually a doctrine that the good, ol' US of A had the right and duty to expand throughout the North American Continent.
Kids....
I hate to disagree with you all, but Deltajoy was right. If you don't believe him or me, just check it out at...

"Religion had always been the backbone and the driving force of American colonization". That's the truth right there, good link man. That's the same driving force and backbone used by european empires to colonize latinamerican countries!

this song is just an angry outlash at the people who now live and control and own the land that used to belong to mexico, which was forcefully taken in the Mexican war. Pretty much all you guys were true, i really dont know why you guys are all squabbling like children. "landlords and power whores(america) holds all my people they took turns(controlled, enslaved) dispute their suits, i ignite and then watch em burn(anger, duh!)
kinda straightforward song of aggression. anyway he sings here "f*ck Manifest Destiny". Manifest Destiny was a 19th centurey social concept in the US claiming America was a nation chosen by God to lead the rest of the world out of "darkness"; that it was America's "destiny" to do so.
Agreed. I'm not a big fan of that concept either, which I'm learning about in school. And forget the stars, I think manifest destiny is a little arrogant in my eyes, but it depends on how you view it.

i play this track all the time with my band. i love playign the riffs, some of the best they've done. even if it was their first track released :)
great opening to a great bands career, check out that funk!
you actually are all misinformed, when zack said "enough i call the bluff, manifest destiny" he was actually stating that america was not just trying to gain land like they said, they were actually just searching for more controll
children....
Assholes...
