Sabotage Lyrics

Artist: Beastie Boys
Album: Ill Communication

I Can't Stand It I Know You Planned It
But I'm Gonna Set It Straight, This Watergate
I Can't Stand Rocking When I'm In Here
Because Your Crystal Bal Ain't So Crystal Clear
So While You Sit Backand Wonder Why
I Got This Fucking Thorn In My Side
Oh My, It's A Mirage
I'm Tellin' Y'all It's a Sabotage
So Listen Up 'Cause You Can't Say Nothin'
You'll Shut Me Dow With A Push Of Your Button?
But I'm Out And I'm Gone
I'll Tell You Now I Keep It On And On
'Cause What You See You Might Not Get
And We Can Bet So Don't You Get Souped Yet
You're Scheming On A Thing That's A Mirage
I'm Trying To Tell You Now It's Sabotage
Why; Our Backs Are Now Against The Wall
Listen All Of Y'all It's A Sabotage
I Can't Stand It, I Know You Planned It
But I'm Gonna Set It Straight This Watergate
I Can't Stand Rockin' When I'm In This Place
Because I Feel Disgrace Because You're All In My Face
But Make No Mistakes And Switch Up My Channel
I'm Buddy Rich When I Fly Off The Handle
What Could It Be, It's A Miracle
You're Scheming On A Thing; That's Sabotage

Best Beastie Boys song, ever? I think so.

Best Song on Rock Band for Bass EVER.

by Tiny on 6/14/2008 2:50am
Some of these lyrics are not correct. 7th line should be Oh my GOD, it's a mirage... Also There is a whole series of lines missing. A rising crescendo of hey y'all its a sabotage that gets repeated several times. Also the 2nd to last line should be What could it be, It's a mirage, not Miracle. Someone needs to fix this....

Awesome song. Was this back when they were a rock band, or...?

by somebody on 7/15/2008 9:55am

The Beatie's started out as a punk bad called The Young Aboriginies and switched to rap. However, this song was made long after there success in rap despite an ill-informed earlier post. Sabotage was on their fourth album and released in 1994. That was 8 years after their debut album and 12 years after their first EP.

i like ths song its gd nd the rhythms hard.

by RogerRamjet on 8/10/2008 10:50am
Beastie Boys work so much better like this. Even though Paul's Boutique is a brilliant album, when they go back to using the instruments they were meant to play, it all works so much better...

At one time I despised the beastie boys, but over time have come to appreciate them and even dig their music now. They are certainly UNIQUE-& I bet they're A TRIP live!

Hey Tim Bit. I hate Tim Hortons. Sounds like you work in a S*&% Hole. Great song to get you guys through the night though. "I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle!"

by Jon on 5/18/2009 8:29am
Imo, their best song is Intergalactic, but this song is awesome nonetheless.
