A life of work, is a life of crime
You pay your taxes, you serve your time
All that money, where does it go?
Schools, prisons, hospitals, roads
Government funding of military science
Genetically engineered ultraviolent
DNA, killer genes
To program microchips, marines
See stealth bombers and tomahawks
On CNN, pay-per-view war
RISE, RISE
RISE, RISE
Hey wage slave where's your profit share?
They got ya down they're gonna keep you there
Freeze your mind, metamorphose
Cocaine karma in the heroin zone
Multinational life is cheap
Soldiers, workers, maggots meat
Get on up, protest riot
Are you collateral damage or a legitimate target?
RISE, RISE
RISE, RISE
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
Sweet sixteen dehumanized
Deaths head factory suicide
RISE, RISE
RISE, RISE
You pay your taxes, you serve your time
All that money, where does it go?
Schools, prisons, hospitals, roads
Government funding of military science
Genetically engineered ultraviolent
DNA, killer genes
To program microchips, marines
See stealth bombers and tomahawks
On CNN, pay-per-view war
RISE, RISE

Hey wage slave where's your profit share?

Il brano avrebbe dovuto intitolarsi "Bomb the Pentagon", ma questo titolo ha spaventato non poco la casa discografica e i Primal Scream hanno acconsentito a cambiarlo in "Rise", non togliendo comunque nulla "alla carica eversiva del pezzo, un rock industriale aggressivo e veramente cattivo".
