No Shelter Lyrics
Artist: Rage Against The Machine
Album: Godzilla Soundtrack
The main attraction distraction
Got you number than number than numb.
Empty your pockets son they got you thinkin' that
What you need is what they sellin'
Make you think that buyin' is rebellin'
From the theaters to malls on every shore
The thin line between entertainment and war
The front line is everywhere there'll be no shelter here
Still burn the nightmare works you pushin' for,
I'm a snap of the whip, the true feather to tar
Memroy erased and promise gone,
Tradin' your history for a V.C.R.
Cinema simulated life in trauma
Forthright culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war
There'll be no shelter here,
The front line is everywhere. X4
Hospitals not profitful
The market bulls got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View the world from American eyes
The parmagon keep fiendin' for more
The thin line between entertainment and war
Fix the need, develop the taste,
Buy the products, or get laid to waste
Coca-cola was back in the veins of Saigon
And Rambo troops We got a dope pair 'a Nikes on
Godzilla pure motherfuckin' filler
Get your eyes on the real killer,
Cinema simulated life in trauma
Forthright culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got you searchin' for,
The thin line between entertainment and war.
There'll be no shelter here,
The front line is everywhere. X4
American eyes, American eyes,
View the world from American eyes,
Bury the past, rob us blind,
leave nothing behind. X2
Just stare. X4
Or live the nightmare.

Comments/Interpretations
haha I love it, a song for a movie soimsttaxk and Zack wittingly digs on the industry and even Godzilla w/o much notice... Brillance. Thank God Rage is back...
Anyone else think the lyrics "Forthright culture, Americana" should be "Fuck white culture... Americana"?
of course
'Fourth reich culture, Americana'
This is the correct lyric.
it's RELIEVE the nightmare :)
americana is a new term
not the traditional folky style but the emerging southwest blend of culture
Yeah, who fucks up that line it's the best line in the song.
there's a reason their lyrics are inaudible for deep political interp and they to be edgy
it's "4th reich" culture refering to the 3rd reich of nazi germany.
their lyrics are the best. and the video is really cool too
I always thought it was re-live the nightmare
I don't necessarily agree with the whole political view of the piece, but it is extremely well written....makes you have to listen to what he will say next.
they haw scary lyrics becose it is all true, they are the beast
there are so many inaccuracies I don't know where to start. definitely do not use this site for accurate lyrics
Yes it is
forth REICH culture.
A reference to nazi germany ...the third reich.
Their word should be more widely spread.!
My favourite line is ...
"Cinema simulated life in trauma"
wow, there are a lot of parts in this song that arent the right lyrics. you suck
they rock .. its the truth if you think about it
your all wrong wow. it's "Fourth Reich" as in fallowing the third Reich of Nazi Germany. not forth which means "to move forward"
Ok I'm pretty sure when Zack does the "american eyes, american eyes, view the world from american eyes..." part, (which is the best part of the song by far) I think it is:
"Americanize, Americanize, view the world from american eyes..."
which kinda goes back to someone else's comment about their lyrics being highly interpretable.
I definitely think its "americanize" version, it makes more sense to me.
The bit about "malls on every shore" rings especially true: consumer culture ("entertainment") creates a cultural "war".
we listened to this in my america in the 20th class today. it really makes you think.
These lyrics are so far off...
KDiz can Suck My Nutz
In RAMBO II HE HAD A DOPE PAIR OF NIKES ON...referencing Hollywood's awful addiction to product placement revenue to the point of detriment
Godzilla pure motherfuckin' filler
Get your eyes on the real killer,
This dedicated to Rockefeller family ..
It's a real killer !!!
Love this tune.
No no, it's not "fourth right culture" OR "fourth reich culture".... It's "fuck white culture"
Not sure if it's intentional, but the lines about Godzilla make me think about the symbolism of the monster. The radioactive monster of the original film is an allegory for the rise of the nuclear armed West. The real killer from this perspective aligns with the rest of RATM's message in that it's the US empire.
