No Shelter

The act of extraction
got you number than number than numb
Into your pockets, son
They got you thinkin' that what you need is what they sellin'
Made 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 be no shelter here
Suburban nightmare what you wishin for
I'm as tight as the whip
The truth feathered and tarred
Memories erased and promise gone
Trading your history for a VCR
Cinema, simulated life and trauma
Birthright, culture, Americana
Chained to the dream they got your searchin' for
The thin line between entertainment and war
There be no shelter here
The front line is everywhere
Hospitals not profit full
The market's pull got pockets full
To advertise some hip disguise
View the world from American eyes
The xxxx 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 is back in their veins in Saigon
And Rambo troops we gotta new paradise, ugh
Godzilla pure motherfuckin' filler
Get your eyes off the real killer
(Chorus)
American eyes, American eyes
View the world from American eyes
Bury the past, rob us blind
And leave nothing behind (x2)
Just stare (x4)
And live the nightmare

For all you Rage fans out there here is No Shelter.

The Bass line is still played through the chorus.

The electric guitar is played with a dropped E to D tuning.

after that play the chorus again 4 times then play this, it's the bass
I think and it's not completely right:



G|----------------------|
D|---------------3-3----| 
A|-5-5-5--3-3-3---------| X 2 This isn't right but mess around with it               
E|----------------------| and you will get it!

Then play the little wah riff again.

Lyrics from vinyl single - provided by AGomez9212@aol.com
THE MAIN ATTRACTION-DISTRACTION
GOT YA NUMBER THAN NUMBER THAN NUMB
EMPTY YA POCKETS SON, THEY GO YOU THINKIN' THAT
WHAT YOU NEED IS WHAT THEY SELLIN'
MAKE YOU THINK THAT BUYIN' IS REBELLIN'
FROM THAT THEATERS TO MALLS ON EVERY SHORE
THA THIN LINE BETWEEN ENTERTAINMENT AND WAR
THA FRONTLINE IS EVERYWHERE, THERE BE NO SHELTER HERE
SPEILBERG THA NIGHTMARE WORKS, SO PUSH IT FAR
AMISTAAD WAS A WHIP, THA TRUTH FEATHERED AND TARRED
MEMORY ERASED, BURNED, AND SCARRED
TRADE IN YA HISTORY FOR A VCR

CINEMA, SIMULATED LIFE, ILL TRAUMA
FOURTH REICH VULTURE, AMERICANA
CHAINED TO THE DREAM THEY GOT YA SEARCHING FOR
THE THIN LINE BETWEEN ENTERTAINMENT AND WAR
THERE WILL BE NO SHELTER HERE, THE 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
THE THIN LINE BETWEEN ENTERTAINMENT AND WAR
THEY FIX THA 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'S GOT A "DOPE" PAIR OF NIKES ON
GODZILLA PURE MOTHERFUCKIN' FILLER
TO KEEP YOUR EYES OFF THE REAL KILLER
