Bulls On Parade
===============
Rage Against the Machine
Evil Empire
Music and Lyrics by Rage Against the Machine

Drum Tab
Tabbed by MbMDrumMachine (nich27@hotmail.com)

Notes: I have a couple of things to say.

-I have really listened to this song a lot lately, and I've noticed many errors and things
 missing in other Bulls on Parade tabs so I thought I'd clear it up. My tab probably isn't
 100% correct, but it's close.

-On other tabs it says there are hi hat foots (feet?) on quarter notes during the verse.
 I can't hear them, but even if there are, it doesn't add to much to the song, so I just
 took them out. Plus, it's easier to play it without them.

-All the hihats in the song are loose

-The fill close to the end is pretty tough, the hardest part of the song by far

-I'm not sure if he says "Come wit it now!" or "Qu-it it now!" at the starting of the song.
 if anyone can clear that up for me that would be great.

If I have missed anything please email me.

Note: This fill is probably not 100% correct, but it sounds 
exactly like what Brad plays. If you are wondering what the
'S' means, it means footsplash. A footsplash is when you take
your heel on the hi hat pedal and stamp it down around the middle
of the pedal. If my description isn't good enough, try stamping
on the pedal until you get that 'splashy' sound.

Lyrics:

Come wit' it now!      (Qu-it now?)
Come wit' it now!

Verse

The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Either drop the hits like De la O or get the *** off the commode
With the sure shot, sure to make the bodies drop
Drop and don't copy yo, don't call this a co-op
Terror rains drenchin', quenchin' the thirst of the power dons
That five sided fist-a-gon
The rotten sore on the face of mother earth gets bigger
The triggers cold empty your purse

Chorus

Rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells

Verse

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes
Not need, just feed the war, cannibal, animal, I
Walk the corner to the rubble
That used to be a library line-up to the mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn the books they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells
Rally 'round the family, pocket full of shells

Chorus

Rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells
They rally 'round the family!
With a pocket full of shells

Bridge

Bulls on parade!
Uh


Come wit' it now!
Come wit' it now!

Outro

Bulls on parade!                                            
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
Bulls on parade!
