"We've got to regain knowledge again, and we've got to regain an understanding again, of who we are. Not just those chosen to fuel systems, but individuals who have the power to criticize and analyze, and attack injustice when it becomes prevalent and apparent in front of our faces like it is in ours right now. We've been all put to sleep. Put to sleep to a system. A system that continues to perpetrate ignorance amongst our spirits and amongst our minds. One that wants you not to act. A system that would rather see all of you at that bar drinking beer filling your minds being put to sleep with beer or with drugs, rather than acting against it and fighting a system which has been perpetrating imperialist lies and other fucking bullshit for five hundred years.

(Submit New Rage Against The Machine Lyrics) (Submit New Rage Against The Machine Lyrics) WOW RAGE | Reviewer: aaron ------ About the song Killing In The Name performed by Rage Against The Machine i dont know about any body else but dosent this seem like something that could be used to insight a mob, hahaha. wow rages lyrics are the best even if you dont agree with the majority of what they say its all said with such force and conviction that you have to listen and take note Zack D on Without a face | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Without A Face performed by Rage Against The Machine 'It seems as soon as the wall of Germany fell the US goverment were busy building another one on the boarder between the US and Mexico. Since 1986 as a result of all the hate talk and hysteria that the goverment has been speaking, 1500 bodies have been found on the boarder. We wrote this song in responce to it.' rage! | Reviewer: Kaylie ------ About the song Testify performed by Rage Against The Machine rage is truly an amzing band, theyre original, but they actually make you think, their lyrics mean something, they're just so angry & tell it how it is. i love rage! they need to come to the states! Really great! | Reviewer: Swedish Citizen ------ About the song Guerrilla Radio performed by Rage Against The Machine If this doesnt trigger some kind of revolutionary thought you are either deaf or just plain stupid. Fortunatly we dont have the same caliber on our politicians here in Sweden, but some of the characteristics are the same, that also goes for the political system, we have some things that are more "evolved" if you will but still a great deal that is fucked up, bad. Imo, this song is about freedom! The core is mental feedom, wich in turn will generate physical improvments. Enlighten people and slit fucking throat while you are at it! Btw, if you ever think of killing yourself, make sure to take one of these assholes with you. (Im gonna see them live in exactly 2 weeks from now at Hultsfredsfestivalen, im prepairing with alot of pasta to make it through the whole thing:) ) Who is Cassius? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wake Up performed by Rage Against The Machine "Then stick and move like I was Cassius" Is a refference to the famous boxer Cassius Clay later known as Muhammad Ali. Cassius Clay publically spoke out against the Vietnam war, and ultimately became a draft-dodger as he refused to go even after he was recruited. Sent to prison (which lost him his Olympic Gold Medal as well as his Heavyweight Title), he discovered Islam, and became Muhammad Ali. Ron Paul, just another meaningless figure. | Reviewer: Joel ------ About the song Wake Up performed by Rage Against The Machine Yes, this talks about civil rights. Yes, this talks about government oppression. Yes, this goes deeper. Movements come and movements go. Leaders speak, movements cease when their heads are flown. This is the line that all Ron Paul people should focus on. When a movement is pledged to nonviolence, they end prematurely the moment the leader is taken out. There is no continuation because the followers, ie sheep of the movement, have been indoctrinated against violence. The only threat is the leader itself. When a movement does not take war off the table, such as the founding fathers, then every individual becomes a threat. The movement can continue on after the leader's demise. And yes, I know about the changes happening to local and state GOPs across the country due to Ron Paul's delegates. Yes, I have been part of that. And yes, I would love for this movement to work through peaceful means, but it won't last. Once we get complacent in what we've accomplished, tyranny will win. It always does. You cannot unseat the true rulers of the US democratic monarchy through peaceful means. Why would a king give up his throne unless there was a sword to his throat? We can't truly get our republic back without crossing blades. Any change made through the pacifistic Ron Paul movement will only be temporary. The only difference between Ron Paul and Martin Luther King is that a lot of people in the Ron Paul camp feel the same way I do. Thus, Ron Paul will be allowed to live to keep preaching non-violence until he dies of old age. If he was assassinated, that just might be the spark required for real change. mesage of the song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wake Up performed by Rage Against The Machine I think the song is about the civil rights movment and such they say You know they went after King When he spoke out on Vietnam refering to MLKJ being against the vietnam war and Ya know they murdered X And tried to blame it on Islam He turned the power to the have-nots And then came the shot refering to Malcom X and his problems with the nation of islam and his death basicly the whole song is about oppresion and injustice just my take Seed of HOPE | Reviewer: sabrina ------ About artist/band Rage Against The Machine I think that a seed is only as good as the earth its place in which in fact is summon of all the things on earth… If you find a good potential ground one can stand and deliver tomatoes other then “magical beans” But I know many grounds are unstable and corrupted with penumbras so I suggest you work with these grounds this aspects of reality in which product can be eaten and one can become satisfy. Please do not destroy the bad grounds but yet “cure these grounds” to be cultivating FAMRS for humanity Apply this to your own life I know I need it I do not know about you! Cost of my desire... | Reviewer: TISTF ------ About the song Sleep Now in the Fire performed by Rage Against The Machine Amazing lyrics, i think that the lyrics are an analogy to the middle east however, rather than health care. The 'pill' is democracy, but democracies have been harmful to some states in the middle east and africa and america is forcing them to take it. at any rate, no matter what its about, amazing song The lyrics actuall meaning..? | Reviewer: James Ram ------ About the song Sleep Now in the Fire performed by Rage Against The Machine The music video shows how civilians ignore the problems because they feel they can't do anything about it, and how politicians know about these problems and have the power to fix it but no.. they choose not to. While we also abuse our health care system "There is no other pill to take so swallow the one that made you ill" and how although we have pills for almost everything it usually causes other problems. Also how we must conform or we get dragged into our grave and how although we say we have "freedom of religion" it's still socially un-acceptable to have a different religion as opposed to the mainstream religion. And by the way Rageforever.. the government is not neccesarilly evil there just usually really, really unbeilavably stupid. listen to me! | Reviewer: tom k ------ About the song Bulls On Parade performed by Rage Against The Machine ok listen anyone who dont like this song!! DONT COMMENT ON IT! HOLY CRAP JUST KEEP UR FREAKIN MOUTHS SHUT! GO COMMENT ON SOMETHING U LIKE!! (this isnt to any1 who commented good cause this song is great) this always happens to the songs i like (if u agree comment too) good song but it dose not have the right lyrics | Reviewer: jason ------ About the song Bulls On Parade performed by Rage Against The Machine im not a critic but before you type in any song make sure that you use the right lyrics cause big rage fans will get pissed off because they never heard the word public inthe song if you think all of this sounds gay keep it to yourself Zach De La Rocha | Reviewer: Bob The Savage ------ About the song Bulls On Parade performed by Rage Against The Machine To the person who previously posted about the singer: Zach was the driving force behind the band. Their politics were what made them great, the way the feared nothing and fought for what they saw as right. His vocals are stellar, and defenitaly ADD to the music. If you want to continue to be an ignorant Piss ant, then listen to audioslave. Same people but with Zach replaced. The music is ok, but they have none of the drive. ZACK DE LA ROCHA IS FUCKIN' HHHHHOT! ;] | Reviewer: LILY_Z ------ About the song Maggie's Farm performed by Rage Against The Machine I LIVE FOR YOU PEOPLE! RAGE FUCKIN' EXUDES AWESOMENESS! I FUCKIN' LOVE THE WAY THEY MANIFEST THEIR IDEAS; THROUGH MUSIC. IT'S COOL THAT THEY HAVE THE BALLS TO POINT OUT ALL THE CORRUPT ASS SHIT THAT'S BEEN, AND STILL IS GOING ON. RAGE FUCKIN' KICKS ASS!!!!!! A few more titbits | Reviewer: dvidby0 ------ About the song Wake Up performed by Rage Against The Machine Undoubtebly this song was chosen as an ending to The Matrix because of its title. The song was not played entirely. The middle was snipped off, but the end, from where the music changes to the last lines, that part was preserved. The reason the last lines were preserved might be because they could be obliquely interpreted as a reference to karma and rebirth, something that had a deep relation with the storyline of The Matrix. What you reap, is what you sow. They should make instrumental songs | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bulls On Parade performed by Rage Against The Machine Funky guitar, nice drums, the fact is that only their singer puts them in a bad light. If only they had a good singer, I would worship this band. If they made an instrumental I would totally buy it. wtf,is this right? | Reviewer: (lol,you wish XD) ------ About the song Bulls On Parade performed by Rage Against The Machine "They rally round tha public! With a pocket full of shells",then "They rally round tha family! With a pocket full of shells"?!?!if you listen to the song,you'll see public is wrong,unless its said fast in some way.knowing Rage Against The Machine,if they did say public,they said it fast & made it sound like family. this song is awesome though.the 1st song i've ever heard them play is "Killing In The Name" from my friend's Guitar Hero 2 (FUCK YOU,I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!! \m/, ).my friend has all 3 guitar hero's & i've played this song.(for those of you who didn't know,yes,Bulls on Parade is on Guitar Hero 3)speaking of,i have a friend who works in a Gamestop.he says there will be a Guitar Hero 4 (its a popular game,OF COURSE THERE WILL BE A 4!!!!) & i'm hoping for more Rage Against The Machine Cassius | Reviewer: anonymous ------ About the song Wake Up performed by Rage Against The Machine I believe Cassius is not the Shakepearean reference but Cassius Clay, aka Muhammed Ali. Stick and move is a what Ali would do during boxing. He is also a Muslim and very famous during the 70s and Black Power movement. It follows the same lines as King, Wilson, and X. seriously | Reviewer: j ------ About the song NO SHELTER performed by Rage Against The Machine Everyone always wants to criticize the government simply because most people are ignorant and look for someone to blame without really spending a little time and thought on the matter. The problem is not the government, their not the really greedy people who are trying to control everyone, its the large companies and super-super rich. They are really the ones who benefit from a government that controls people so they distract our lives with all the different things of today making us ignorant so that we don't keep a close eye on the true workings of politics and things of that sort so that any politician who wants to do anything good has to accept a sponsorship from them (in secret of course) in exchange for doing what they want, just to get their name out there. Thats just one of so many ways they maintain control. Personally i believe that only those that have over 35 million should be taxed because they could never spend that much money without just being ridiculous and spending for the sake of spending, but that would never work because they're greedy and have egos and think that their children are special because they're theirs so they think that they're children and all descendants should remain rich(and therefore able to become richer) and in control without having to work for anything (kind of sounds like the mentality of a monarch does it not?) or in some cases they are greedy for another reason. So anyway, back to the point, if we tried to tax them they would take their business elsewhere, putting their money in another country's bank, buying things of large expense from other countries that dont have luxury tax, or just plain moving to another country because no matter where you go, if your rich, you can buy more freedom than everyone else and to rich people its just a matter of where they can get their hands on more of it. Now don't get me wrong about companies that make seemingly unnecessarily large amounts of money and outsource jobs or build factories in other countries because if you understand anything about business then you understand that if your company is that profitable in the first place then you must be selling millions of whatever it is you sell, and need plenty of "emergency" money in case something unpredicted goes wrong and people demand money back, or worse sue, or other financially devastating situations which would, even if the company didn't fall completely, would send the stock price down and worsen the situation exponentially. Keep in mind that if the rich individuals would pay taxes suited to their wealthiness, then income tax might not be necessary and therefore neither would the raising of minimum wage, and these companies would be less likely to outsource jobs or build factories in other countries. another important thing to consider is that we rely on the government to take care of problems in the economy and things like giving blue tarps to victims of hurricane katrina because they knew a hurricane was coming but were irresponsible and didn't think carefully about what they might need which by the way is something you should have all needed supplies for long before hurricane season even starts. As for the economy thing, its all our responsibility and any problems in it are our fault, and even if they went its still our responsibility and not that of the government. For example, remember how i mentioned outsourcing earlier? That also wouldn't be necessary if we were responsible consumers and bought American even if the foreign version was a little cheaper. As for those of you that do so because you have little money to spend, a good economy leaves everyone with more money and if you bought American, money would stay in America, jobs would stay in American, and it would be the American products that would be cheaper, not to mention that certain kinds of products that are dominated by other countries such as japan and the electronics industry, would be American dominated because American companies would have more money to invest in quality craftsmanship, research and development, ect .. Health care is another thing that is not the governments responsibility but our own because much of our bad health is in one way or another a result of our own actions, lifestyles, diet, ect., not to mention that a "good" health care system run by the government is about as possible as a properly functioning communist society. The government should only have to worry about foreign affairs, war, and laws, which as much as people hate them, would if absent allow people to infringe of the freedoms and rights of others, for example, laws against stealing and killings, and almost all laws serve a similar purpose if you really take the time to think about it and ask yourself questions such as "why would i make this law". Thats really the purpose of government, to prevent our freedom from being imposed upon bu others whether they be foreign countries or our own citizens. However there are a few other issues that government should take care of such as education, because without it we can never have things like advances sciences and products or a good economy, or a chance of defending ourselves because if we didn't have good products we wouldn't have a good economy and if we didn't have a good economy we wouldn't have the resources for a military with which to defend our country. i would also like to mention to all of you who plan to vote, Huckabee is pushing a bill that would eliminate income tax and raise taxes on products, thereby making it harder for the rich to escape taxes, and less of an effect on the economy when illegal immigrants come here and work without paying income taxes because they are going to buy stuff while they're here but aren't going to pay income tax. I really am getting tired now so thats all im going to say. Hippies Turned Rage-Filled Punkers | Reviewer: Jay ------ About the song Killing In The Name performed by Rage Against The Machine RATM is the real deal. In the 60s, there were the hippies and their nice sounding peace songs. They tried nice--didn't work that well. I looked at RATM's site, and they are for reals, not just making kickass music, but speaking out about injustice, like some poor peaceworker guy that got killed in a bogus raid--you can see this on the site. In "Freedom" they talk about the insanity of the whole Leonard Peltier tragedy. In this song, they are nailing the truth, many cops in the U.S. are KKK members or white supremecists, and carry that outlook into their jobs. And they are killing in the name of "Jesus, God, & white supremacy". And this song expresses it great, with rage, without compromise, great beats and riffs. Awesome. I love RATM!!!
