Rage Against The Machine - No Shelter Lyrics






The main attraction - distraction
got ya number than nnumber than numb
Empty ya pockets son; they got you thinkin that
What ya need is what they sellin
Make you think that buyin is rebellin
From the theaters to malls on every shore
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be no shelter here
Speilberg the nightmare works so push it far
Amistad was a whip, the truth was feathered and tarred
Memory erased, burned and scarred
Trade in ya history for a VCR

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture - Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

There be no shelter here
Tha frontline is everywhere

Hospitals not profit full
Yet market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View tha world from American eyes
Tha poor adore keep fiendin for more
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
They fix the need, develop the taste
Buy their products or get laid to waste
Coca-Cola is back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo too, he got a dope pair of Nikes on
And Godzilla pure muthafuckin filler
To keep ya eyes off the real killer

Cinema, simulated life, ill drama
Fourth Reich culture - Americana
Chained to the dream they got ya searchin for
Tha thin line between entertainment and war

American eyes, American eyes....
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothin behind

Just stare
Relive the nightmare.

    t.... t....

    DD3, sorry

  37. P.... F....

    Why can't I get this song on iTunes ? First Rage Against machine song I ever heard and I had to remember I heard it on Godzilla album.

    P.... F....

    D Vee It is on apple music now. So it should be on itunes. Just go into songs after pulling them up and scroll. It should be there. Yea. I listened too all 3 albums before this. But this track could have easily been on them its that good. so relevant to today. hope i helped.

  38. G.... t....

    Godzilla 😘

  39. W.... B....

    Where did the official video go?

  40. D.... M....

    Cobra Kai anyone

  44. L.... C....

    More than 20 years and still have my RATM cd and dvd but know I listen on mp3 everyday guys you will rock forever

    L.... C....

    I see ratm in the 1998 MILANO SONORIA PARK FIRST CONCERT 8N EUROPE I WAS BABY 15 YEARS OLD NOW 42 BAR I LOVE EVRY DAY THIS GROUP, ALL MY LIFE. I LOVE RATM

  45. C.... J....

    RATM is commie as fuck yet they had no problem taking advantage of capitalism to make millions.

    C.... J....

    that is the commie way...

    C.... J....

    Have you ever profited from capitalism? Because it seems like youre being robbed blind 😂

    C.... J....

    @DestinysCharm "Have you ever profited from capitalism?"


    Yes; actually, I have.

  46. M.... S....

    Where you at Hong Kong

  47. R.... B....

    For anyone asking where this song is from., It's from the Godzilla soundtrack. The 2000 one. ..... Just chill or live the nightmare

  48. J.... M....

    Rage may be the most underrated band of this century right under RHCP

    J.... M....

    @Brachoso when i made that statement it wasnt regarding the accolades they've achieved throughout their career. Everyone knows they ruled an era of rock on their own yet not a single biography has been made for either band and i think its long over due. It was a "reach" to try and be unique.....jmho

    J.... M....

    @Brachoso message got cut off...anyway, regardless of them leading the wave of a completely different sound for rock noones even made a biography on either band so far. Jmho

    J.... M....

    RATM and RHCP are my favourite bands

    J.... M....

    @Ljubo Bilić u got great taste.... Mine as well

    J.... M....

    how the fuck are either of those multi-platinum selling artists that played for 500,000 people at woodstock 99 underrated?

  49. C.... B....

    What ya need is what they selling

  50. A.... ....

    Watching Person of Interest made me think about this song

  51. P.... P....

    USA: Best fucked-up place on Earth.
    🗽

  52. B.... V....

    For those that gave a 👎 EAT A DICK !!!!!

  53. E.... O....

    The frontline is everywhere... fuck Amerika... there'll be no shelter here... fuckin RATM truth... bury the past... rob us blind... still going strong in 2019

  54. R.... ....

    RATM were way ahead of their time. Just when you need them back, they're not there :(

    R.... ....

    Prophets of rage

    R.... ....

    They will be in 2020!! Just announced!

  55. r.... l....

    Holly shit 2:54

  56. t.... ....

    1:27 ytimk

  57. K.... B....

    Anyone hear the similarities between the opening of this and the opening to Cypress Hills hand on the pump?

    K.... B....

    Cypress hill actually colaborated a few songs with RATM... so the simalarities are not suprising

  58. R.... F....

    This band's name should have been Useful Idiots

    R.... F....

    @David Dial the term useful idiot came from the Soviet Union and referred to American "liberals" who were actually doing the Soviets' bidding

    R.... F....

    As opposed to a useless idiot

    R.... F....

    @Ron Froehlich yes I saw that interview with Yuri. My point was that whether you support a left leaning government or a right leaning government you are a useful idiot for one side or the other.

    R.... F....

    David Dial Yup.

    R.... F....

    Both sides are owned

    Heard this song on the radio the other day. Got me so pumped to be an American 🇺🇸

  61. Y.... D....

    Gee, I wonder why this never officially released in the US. lmfaooo.

    Y.... D....

    Just stare, man.

    Y.... D....

    "bury the past, and rob us blind" why does that line sound like something Disney would say?

    Y.... D....

    It did. On a movie soundtrack. It was on that soundtrack

  62. c.... ....

    I’m mad you can’t even find it on Spotify or Apple Music :(

    c.... ....

    cheesycheetah76 it’s on Spotify on the Godzilla album or in this is Rage Against The Machine but it’s not on Apple Music

    c.... ....

    cheesycheetah76 Its on apple music now. Go into songs when you pull them up and scroll way down. Its buried under all of their others but you will know the second you see the green godzilla album cover. Believe me. Its on there. I have been rockin it in my truck for days. I did not think it would be on there at all.

    c.... ....

    cheesycheetah76 On the song section when you scroll down it will be right under ashes in the fall off of the battle of los angeles. hope this helps.

  63. E.... x....

    L.... B....

    I was just looking for it

    L.... B....

    Leo Bascuñán Watch the live version. They opened with this at woodstock 99. Awesome. So good. Second the bass kicks in zach just goes “ohhh shit”. Then right into it. The entire set is on here.

  68. K.... 1....

    Maybe they’ll do another show!

    If they do spend whatever is necessary to see it

    S.... B....

    You must of seen a whole lot of bands live huh?

    S.... B....

    Shannon Brown they are supposed to be getting back together

  70. C.... S....

    che bajaron el video oficial de este tema? que onda?

  71. m.... ....

    Goddamn, this is a headbanger

  72. E.... B....

    Not much on the side of the lyrics but this song is fucking goood

  73. H.... T....

    Fuck yeah.

  75. N.... L....

    Am I that far up everybody on tv hates me now

  76. L.... S....

    "Godzilla pure motherfuckin filler" wonder if anyone doing legal for the Godzilla film this was on the soundtrack of picked up on that.

    L.... S....

    Check out YouTube channel for awesome Godzilla content! Noticed that line too pretty sweet!!

    L.... S....

    The song was the most memorable part of the movie...by far. Gotta give credit to the band.

  77. A.... M....

    There will be no shelter there, Joshua Paul. You're on the streets now. Sex offenders have to register at their current address. You better hurry. They're issuing your next warrant party boy. Sex offenders commit illegal abortion and tinder pregnancy.

  78. a.... f....

    Zach de la Rocha, please come back. We need you now more than ever.

    a.... f....

    That's one reason we're in this predicament in America because no one has stood up, stand out and led. Zach did his job. Kids just aren't outraged and engaged enough. Late 80s early 90s there were many. If Trump's America can't bring out Zach de la Rochas and Bill Hicks and brutally honest and fearless youths then I'm truly fearful and frightened of the future.

    a.... f....

    Got your wish. Reunion announced today

    a.... f....

    I hope you already heard of the news. Its a fine day to live again. Ratm 2020.

    a.... f....

    he is back!...they are back ':-)

    a.... f....

    AND NOW HES BACK I`m crying!!!!

  79. a.... ....

    Cant believe they didnt blow up after 911

    a.... ....

    what do you mean?   RATM did "blow up".  one of the most popular bands of their time, especially in this music genre.

    a.... ....

    All their songs were ban on all radio stations nationwide after 9/11; that says a lot. They also stormed the NY stock exchange while filming Sleep Now in the Fire, causing it to shut down. Legends

  80. H.... H....

    power rap

  81. c.... ....

    Still relevant in 2018!

    c.... ....

    Still relevant in 2019

    c.... ....

    I think it's one of those things that will only get more relevant with time.

    c.... ....

    even 2019

    c.... ....

    AS long as America stands, this will be relevant. "From our cold dead hands." I look in the mirror. DOES THE REST AMERICA!??!?!?!

  82. A.... B....

    This song was not on Battle of LA.

    A.... B....

    Agamemnon Butterscotch , it was supposedly on import versions of the cd. I can't find one to save my life. 😣

    A.... B....

    Agamemnon Butterscotch it was on godzilla

    A.... B....

    It's on the platinum release as well as the Australian release of this album.

    A.... B....

    Thanks, that was what I was thinking.  Worn that CD clean out and I never heard this song before hearing a cover.

  83. s.... c....

    This song is so fucking jiu jitsu!! 😂

  87. S.... J....

    I think great music was meant to be listened to while under the influence of drugs! Marijuana and music go together so great. It's like they were made for each other! So many musicians wrote their best songs while they were high! I love listening to my favorite music while I'm stoned on excellent weed. I used to listen to Rage Against The Machine in the 1990s while I was stoned. I spent the entire decade stoned from 1990 to 2000! And now I'm smoking legal weed! Yes! LOL

    S.... J....

    Put the joint down.

    S.... J....

    Not all but keep believing that

    S.... J....

    Are you Canadian?

    S.... J....

    Lucky bastard! 😜

  88. A.... M....

    Song is almost 20 years old, but the lyrics couldn't be more relevant.

    A.... M....

    nigga stop makin me feel old

    A.... M....

    Still got my subs bumping out the box!!

    A.... M....

    Its a song about anti-consumerism and how media distracts us from truth. I seriously hope everyones woke to that by now.

    A.... M....

    The lyrics have always been relevant dummy

    A.... M....

    @Stanjik woke lol, get outta here kid

  89. N.... S....

    They should write about how the Electoral " College" voters are in actuality an untraceable, anonymous group of elite, powerful people whos few votes override many or even most of the People's ( or" popular" ) votes. The word "College" simply means a group of people. As a kid I was led to believe it was all the students, Professors, Institutions of higher learning...Fuck no. They don't explain how the votes of the many are outweighed by the votes of the powerful secret few... The super secret "Electoral group " Look it up if you don't believe me. You can't find out who the electoral group of voters are. We need to abolish the electoral voting system. It's not true democracy. And it's basically not explained. People need to know this.

    N.... S....

    If you actually read the ballot, which the vast majority of people don't, it says right there you're not voting for Candidate X, you're voting for "Democratic electors for Candidate X."

    N.... S....

    It never was a democracy. It is a constitutional republic.

    N.... S....

    @Nabonidus Scorpio You leftist idiots, RATM included, are not the counter-culture anymore. You eliminate the electoral college, you'll get California and NY running the country and if you don't think a bunch of pissed off people from "flyover" country would be coming for your head your dead wrong.

    N.... S....

    Go back to school, asshole. We live in a Democratic Republic. Fifty separate States, dipshit. New York and Los Angeles do not get to override who Nebraska and Kansas simply because they have more welfare bums that vote Democrat. Pure Democracy is mob psychology.

    N.... S....

    Also, I can't help but wonder why all of the electpral college abolitionists are vehemently opposed to voter identification requirements. Yinz don't mind if people cast fraudulent votes but you don't like the EC cause its unfair. "Liberals" are DUMB.

  90. j.... y....

    WAYYYY ahead of their time!!!!! -J.YO'

    j.... y....

    perfectly timed. but not enough listened, now its to late to do anything about the extinction, their war of terror kept everyone distracted long enough. whats worse due to heart transplants the old bastards that destroyed our future are still alive to enjoy the profits of their crimes against humanity

  91. E.... U....

    How have I never heard this before? oh yeah right, not released in the US why!?

    E.... U....

    Eastwood Unforgiven no it was on the Godzilla soundtrack

    E.... U....

    It came on my CD, and I live in the US

    E.... U....

    @No Name I came on your CD too!

    E.... U....

    Temple Slug wat

  92. w.... ....

    I bought the studio albums on GooglePlay...I'm disappointed that there's no Special Edition of The Battle Of Los Angeles with this one on it....
    Epic song.

    w.... ....

    This track was originally released on the soundtrack for the movie Godzilla. That would explain why The Battle of Los Angeles doesn't include it.

    w.... ....

    The live version is really good

    w.... ....

    is where Godzilla soundtrack album?

    w.... ....

    DANNO Indeed it does. Dk why the american version doesnt have it.
