[mm263486]

@dbkdstryem The original lyrics is "burn CROSSES", he just changed it for this lyric.

[brankozab2]

@StJohnisaJoke Yeah he changes some words on every concert :D

[dbkdstryem]

Might be missing what this song really means, but burning churches doesn't have anything w/ racism, and cops abusing they're jobs. Burning churches has to w/ bringing down religion. I think I'm missing the connection there..

[AlfaChidan]

@dbkdstryem It has to do things with the Ku Klux Klan,they burn crosses,and work as forces..

[shwangalangadingdong]

@dbkdstryem Back in 63 a group of white supremacists set bombs and detonated them in a small black church in Birmingham, Alabama killing 4 girls. Also a universally known symbol of the ku klux klan is a burning of the cross

[ruvvjub]

I got into political philosophy before I got into these guys, and lemme tell ya

Being able to make music about how messed up our government is is a great way to get the youth involved

[mrsfrenchie1987]

look at the amount of security there... and for good reason, BURN IT ALL DOWN <3

[wutangred]

Just think if everyone in d audience did something positive when they left instead of drugs this country would be so different I've been bfore I know what im tlkin bout

[gsp227]

@wutangred You may know what your talking about. But you surely don't know how to spell.

[ozpox]

@wutangred You lack intelligence.

[pjautuvas]

@wutangred Drugs are great.

[slashman5]

was this the last song they played at woodstock or first

[RockinGuitar1000]

@slashman5 Last first was No Shelter

[twoNujabes]

Sick song :) these guys are the bomb

[SlowHandManLive]

WATCH MY ACOUSTIC COVER: /watch?v=denzx7X0Pfw

[djmali88]

so many haters in these comments. rage against the machine wrote and recorded a song which has inspired a whole bunch of people around the world to send a message to their governments; that they are not afraid. who, what, and how rich the band is, is irrelevant. the only thing that matters is what they've accomplished with their music. that alone deserves massive respect.

[9childofburningtime9]

that wasnt a flag it was his amp all together

[coltoneddy]

Fuck capitalism and corporate America, that flag burning is the greatest thing i've seen

[azzamalbritani]

There's nothing quite like watching 100,000 stoned hafwits yelling out "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me", in unison, at the direction of Zack de la Rocha, without even a hint of irony. But hey, good to see the crowd is full of "free thinkers"! ;-)

[Firestorm2154]

@azzamalbritani There's a big difference between blindly following the crowd and being in unison with people who think similarly on something you're passion about. The group criticizes the former, embraces the latter.

[azzamalbritani]

@Firestorm2154 If you think that your average RATM listener has a clue about what they are "protesting" about, you are deluded. "Anti-capitalism" is just a subset of genuine capitalism. RATM is just a testament to the power of the market.

Sony executive: "Hey, I've got an idea: how about we make a profit from 'rebels' who go on about how awful we are?

Sony underling: "Sounds like a great idea!"

15 years later - who takes RATM, the MILLIONAIRES, seriously? No-one.

[Firestorm2154]

@azzamalbritani passionate* Excuse me.

[deadlinejunky]

FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!

[azzamalbritani]

@deadlinejunky Yes you will. As long as the person telling you what to do is a millionaire "musician" with a bit of cheap, hollow left-wing rhetoric. Nice Che t-shirt, loser.

Fucking awesome performance. The flag burning is a badass way to end the show, but I hope these guys realize they are rich because they live in America.

[129dumaz]

[129dumaz]

[TheBerserker50]

why aren't these people in the streets? all that emotion and truth.... this shithole country/world needs an awakening and ALL these young fuckers are sitting home and.... I guess they're under control like the lyrics convey....the systems that run this world, prevalent here in usa, are killing ALL..... gotta stop em.

[slipknottqe]

FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!!!

[Yellowlad]

the fuck?

[ThroatHole]

please do the world a favor, kill yourself

[crazypolite]

This is SUCH a good performance, with only one flaw. THEY BURNED THE AMERICAN FLAG ON STAGE!?! Let's get real here. I am full blood CANADIAN, and I still find it wrong. You don't burn your own countrys flag. That is un-acceptable in my books!

[Slipknoter344]

agreed

[sharpshootah473]

It is acceptable. It is showing that no one should bow down and succumb to a government, especially a corrupt one, as they all are.

"People should not fear the government. The government should fear its people" -V for Vendetta

[CoreTag]

thats a thomas jefferson quote

[sharpshootah473]

thank you for your correction (thomas jefferson sounds better anyway lol).

[natpjohsnon]

you quoting v for vendetta about this song just made my day

[ReteKKKKK]

They don't burn the flag, they burn the violence, autocracy and ignorence.

[Yellowlad]

yeah

[starkiller8050]

Killer Solo!

[xomanowar42]

i think religion sucks. there doesnt have to be religion to have a god

[alanvaqueiro]

SO RAJANDOOOOO EITA DXI BVEM

[FrEDo507]

RATM ARE FUCKING GOOD AS HELL LIVE

[TheTrimor]

rock

[drumch0ps]

i would KILL to see them live.

[justanidiot96]

Awesome Song!!

[DavidGueetta1987]

Rage Against the machine is better than Audioslave...

[tuga1man]

*different

[easternwolf657]

lol at the burning american flag on that amp. pure fucking win

[JeeRobbiebazz]

And now you do what they told ya ??

[JeeRobbiebazz]

OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOD !!

[McBrideAidy]

fuck you i wont do what you tell me

arguably the best lyric ever :L

[nobleheight]

To chillraph: I believe that the unspoken word here is "the state." I believe that he means "Killing in the name of the state." Tom Morello is saying that some of the people carrying badges (police officers) are racist KKK members who commit murders while on duty and pass that off as justifiable homicide.

[chillraph]

thanks for info!

[nobleheight]

To chillraph: I believe this song is generally about police brutality against black people and the death penalty. It's about racism within the police force. You should google Mumia Abu-Jamal.

[poggyproductions]

I f*cking love how tom morello is so animated when he plays guitar he is so damn bad ass

[ipostcomments]

when i first heard this song i couldnt keep the eArphones off my ear!!!!!

love this SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rajan530]

3:07

Epiicc.

[hiccup2398]

very much so, i wish every crowd was like that

[liamfarr50]

MOTHERFUCKER!

[chillraph]

what's all the meaning behind the song? english is not my first language so i dont get it all. not the lyrics, but the idea of the whole song. thanks

[iamdabomb18]

RATM is a very anarchial band...if they had it their way, they would destroy the government. This song is criticizing the government for justifying killing people in the name of the greater good, or "killing in the name of [the greater good, the state, the government, etc.]"

[superfly913]

well, maybe RATM doesn't believe in killing people for the greater good, they believe probably in a religious point of view where people should not be sentenced to death under the law, because God is the only person judging others and chooses who and when to die. If you're not catholic and youu dont belive this then, sorry, but you gotta look at it from this pov too.

[Gman95100]

god doesnt judge youfor who u are

just saying

[superfly913]

not what im saying.

im saying that god is in charge of who lives and who dies. I know where it sounds like that but i mean he judges who lives and who dies.

[metalmankeith]

Then why aren't all evil people dead and gone? Wouldn't a good god wit the power to end the lives of anyone on earth just purify the evil from it and make it a better place fro those who he "loves"?

[superfly913]

not gonna be a pro religious guy at this cuz im not, but God loves everyone equally....no matter what they do. God loves everyone and everything....and theres a plan for everyone

[metalmankeith]

Then why bother praying?

[superfly913]

simply cuz when we pray to God we build a special connection to him and through praying we find happiness and serenity with him and we can live a peaceful life those who sin r blinded by their sin

[firelegendmushroom]

there is no good or evil... only people.

[firelegendmushroom]

suggest your religion, dont enforce it.

[superfly913]

im not enforcing it genius, someone was asking about God so I gave him some answers its a personal choice for religion and honestly i dont give a shit what religion someone chooses

[warisnice007]

Fuck you, I wont do what you tell me!

[UnAcceptable67]

Makes me want to head bang my computer lol sounds metal O_O

[fredburger63351]

i love this song it rocks
