[mikedmc121]

[SuperPensfan8771]

[dark1ankh]

Don't settle for SOPA !

[xPUNISHER84x]

death is on my side.....SUICIIIIIIIDE!!!!!!

[painfullsound]

this is RATM god dammmmmm*****

[kalkbayrock]

I'm so angry at society that i'm going to comment on youtube.

[phackqu]

COMMERCIALS SUCK EGGS!

[Thakkra]

Trust us, being alive sucks

[darkunited]

All this rage here. "settle for nothing now and settle for nothing later." Why are we sitting quietly? CNN,Fox, Apple, Facebook, the corrupt banking system are all thriving quite well. Feeding us the bull and this ignorance that leads us to a false bliss. Its time to do something only problem is what? Shame, Zack saw this years ago and the majority of the population denies it. Were at a crucial moment in society that if we don't do something soon our chances of changing grow ever slimmer.

[MOTHIKAS]

One of the greatest songs ever written.

[smoke12316]

for those of you who just listen to RATM just to listen to the music, please proceed to lyric analyzing, this band truly speaks truth and their lyrics is what make their songs so unrealistically deep.

,,If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile of my face"

[wideosvatcher]

"if ignorance is bliss they'd knock the smile off my face"

[palpatine17]

Love the brilliant, sublime chords of Tom Morello's guitar. :D

[oneskinnydude19]

self immolation

[flossy26]

what all you dudes just jum on here and quote ratm lyrics.? get out there make it happen i will. your scared of your goverment. we are people not statistics

[dennissuperable]

11 peaple who dont love good music...

[ratmphan]

i can play this song on guitar, accept the solo

[TheNuncFluens]

I love Morello's solo

[soydave1988]

such an under-rated song

[Jaywizzz]

I can relate to feeling like I don't belong in the world, and the boyz I did dirt with, were my family, and feeling like I finally found my place in the world. I spent a lot of my young adult life locked up. Education was the way I broke those chains. Rage taught me a lot of lessons through their lyrics. Education, and putting that effort forward is the only way to beat the system. Your oppressors want you to sell drugs and be caged like an animal, so they can point their fat ass fingers.

[VideoGamer4Life94]

i like the govt

[AliceNchainz011]

@VideoGamer4Life94 Hey, it's hip to be square...well, to tell you the truth, it's hip to be just about anything

[Frostmanej]

such pain...sounds familiar...

[siouxicideful]

Gud Fuckin' Song

[DeathAngelHRA]

Occupy your mind.

[FenderJag95]

I love Morello's solo in this song because it contrasts so much with the song's darkest parts, which makes the song as a whole really freakin' eerie.

[delahaye1992]

fuck you RAGE haters, these guys will help the ignorant realize how our government and every other is fucked up ad shouldn't be here or anywhere,FUCK THE SYSYTEMS

[McCoycby]

my favortie of rage

[eyeseeglass]

anyone else see the face by the monks chest area in the fire?

[extropian]

@eyeseeglass Yep, and in the full sized image, the flames above the monk really look like a skull and everything seems like a fist wrapping around his body. I spent many a night in high school staring at this poster, listening to these lyrics, trying to come up with my own words...

[StraightBlasphemy]

FIGHT THE WAR!

[JustWannaFeelGood]

Heavy ass main riff.

[condoneorcondemn]

If Ignorance is bliss.....If that doesnt resonate in todays society, I dont know what does.

[wickedhead88]

Rage was right . This was written 20 years ago and it is so right. The whole world is fed up with the greed of our governments and corporations. Stand up !!! stand up and never settle for the lies they try to feed us on daily basis.

"If we dont take action now- we'll settle for nothing later !!! "

[AnonNumberZero]

@wickedhead88 #OccupyTheWorld

[crustymetaldude]

@GlueStikkk

[SirSauriMauri]

[zombiestomp360]

watch?v=jJVVkM1mHO4 shame this band isn't as well known as RATM 

[frugihoyi]

@zombiestomp360 We don't need two Rages, come up with a more original sound!

[zombiestomp360]

@frugihoyi uhm did you hear it?

[frugihoyi]

@zombiestomp360 Yes, obviously my opinion is that it sounds too much like RATM. Thatøs called constructive criticism, you should think about what I said.

[Riffsfan]

And he predicted well that we're settling for nothing at the moment...

[nopulpapple]

If this makes you uncomfortable... it should.

[ScotishChristian]

@nopulpapple I concur Pulp.

[Nick2703]

[TheHunter7]

Im Spanish and im very sad with happens in Madrid, and specially in Barcelona, the humanity doesn't need a peaceful revolution against the enemy, we need an violence revolution against the enemy that doesn't allow us to have job, have a good future and a lot of things...

[Vukodaw]

@TheHunter7 Im Serbian... We had our violent revolution 11 years ago, but now everything is the same as before, or maybe worse... Same shit, different package... Only world war can change things - better or worse...

[02John04]

powerful lyrics

[vakazul]

Madrid began the battle. A peaceful battle against their violent force. Don´t let them tell you, you watch it.

[02John04]

[intrusosgang]

Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy.

[BiGGraff100]

@freedomboy96 Wow

[jaketno]

Wow man I used to hate this song and today I realize how real these lyrics are and added to this raw sound makes it greater!

[MrPunkandPissed]

@freedomboy96

We live in a land where killing people over oil is deemed acceptable by society, where i can walk out of my house and buy coke, where anyone who goes 2 school in the public school system has 2 put up with teachers that dont give a shit and kids who come out fucked up because of things like divorce, war, lies, and buys of our american administration, AKA Hilter's dream, fuck the gov't, fuck Afghanistan, and fuck everyone who doesn't understand what rage means.

[thatbastardson]

everytime i hear morello, i get pissed. im like you motherfucking genius. id give my left nut to be able to write like that.

[ehill1536]

This song was so spot on with my life when I fisrt heard it... I feel like he knows what its like to be in a broken home and a broken society.... Only you can change it.

[mattspot2]

Rocha, revealed that the reunited band is working on new material for a possible summer release in 2011.

Rocha did confirm that Rage Against The Machine are not only rehearsing new material for upcoming live shows in Chile, but that a new album is in the works for a late 2011 summer release.

"We are all older and mature and don't fall into the same problems we faced 10 or 15 years ago. We are working on a new album due out next year, perhaps for the northern hemisphere summer," said Rocha.

[misfitsruby]

i love it when zach screams

SUICIDE!!!!!!!

[kilamanjarokenish]

id like to see wat songs ratm wites after seeing this shit in egypt. cant wait for the album

[FunkyPopeye]

@kilamanjarokenish they are making a new album?! :D

[DeadendAmericaRevolt]

@kilamanjarokenish

Forget Egypt, how about in America, Occupy wallstreet protests being blacked out by the lamestream media, unemployment & crime rising. A 3rd massive amount of Govt $ about to be pushed into our dying economy. Things are gonna change soon in this country, and its either gonna be really bad or something new.

[sleestakattack]

@DeadendAmericaRevolt It was finally on the news today.

[thatbastardson]

@kilamanjarokenish they would write that jesus was actually the son of aliens, not the son of any god. mary was chosen, and seeded artificially, and jesus was born. the album writes itself bro.......

[Nielk19]

then maybe ill move to canada. or japan

[Nielk19]

@freedomboy96 yes. the US cant force him out of office. and if not for the US Germany and France to explictly tell him not to use force against its citizens then the pressure for mr.mubarak to not kill off his people would not have been there. and no matter what anyone says it will always make someone angry. the US also really does not want to influence there ways of government on the egyptians when mubarak steps down (or some other means) so that the egyptian people can rule their own way.

[I3ecause]

Invading other countries, wiping out indigenous people, pillage a village...corrupting the youth...

FUCK THE SYSTEM!

[Nielk19]

@freedomboy96 he said for an "immediate orderly transition" for mr. mubarak to step down which are what hundreds of thousands of people are protesting for. also 300 people are dead from the protest and the death tolls only increase until he steps down. now if this was four years ago our president (bush) would of been for mr. mubarak to stay in power so he can keep gas prices from rising ten more cents here in america. after all he did start a war for oil

[Nielk19]

@freedomboy96 Ratm's music is about the ignorance of goverment, bank, etc. crimes against its people, and how many innocent people do you want to drop dead?? youre following a completely different moral than what rage set up and i said "our" like me and americans, which didnt have to mean you. and the fact that you havnt been able dug up any evidence with your "facts" means you really dont know what your talking about. and btw im not some blind follower who thinks obama's the messiah of politics

[Nielk19]

@freedomboy96 out of ALL the presidents you choose obama to be the most corrupted. your just a sore loser. but dont get me wrong THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE THAT SUFFER FROM GOVBERMENTS!! but at least you have freedoms... and our goverment is a democracy! you cant blame one person for ruining this country. BUSH HANDS OFF A NATIONAL DEBT OF 11 TRILLION TO OBAMA AND YOU SAY ITS OBAMAS FAULT??? You listen to rage but the people that voice against you should die?? your a sick person

[Nielk19]

@freedomboy96 WHY ARE YOU TALKING BAD ABOUT OBAMA HERE??? HE GAVE PEOPLE HEALTH CARE THAT WOULD OF NORMALLY BEEN DENIED IT. HE DIDNT START A WAR THAT LED TO THE DEATH OF SO MANY. MOSTLY INNOCENT!!! IN FACT THEYRE GOING TO BE PULLED OUT THIS SUMMER. HE HAS TO DEAL WITH THE BANKS THAT SCREWED THEIR COUNTRY OVER, NOT HIM AND HE DIDNT BAIL OUT THE RICHEST PEOPLE OF GOLDMAN THAT NOW LIVE WITH MONEY THEY'LL NEVER TOUCH. IF I COULD I WOULD NAME YOU EVERY ISSUE. AND YOU HAVNT MADE ONE DAM GOOD POINT!!!!

[thedarkrocker96]

@freedomboy96 ik what you sayin man obama sucks he did more sht then good

[jp3sucks]

No band compares to Rage, None

[I3ecause]

Fuck war~! ANARCHY!

[s11033]

@I3ecause

you dont know what youre talking about...

[purplehaze19124]

TAKE ACTION NOW! LOOK AT YOUR CROOKED GOVERNMENT BREAK INTERNATIONAL LAW AND KILL WITHOUT BLINKING AND THEN SEND YOU TO JAIL FOR POT TO KEEP THE WORKING CLASS REVOLUTIONARIES DOWN! FUCK THE SYSTEM FOREVER RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE.!!!!

[TheIlovekiss]

[TheHeathdog]

[ClayLaf916]

[oneofanceantproficy]

this song for some reason makes me think of torture. i must be totally insane

[ianater900]

@oneofanceantproficy not really

[oneofanceantproficy]

@ianater900 i hope that means something positive! lol

[GlueStikkk]

Good song, but care to elaborate?---If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile off my face.

[omiru]

@GlueStikkk he'd rather be hit with the truth than be ignorant to it.

[757Roy757]

11 poeple would like to settle for nothing

[crimsonsamuraiftw]

This song has an epic entrancing vibrancy to it.

[Photonzos]

"...the government is by the people, for the people of the people."

Nice old comfortable theme but the reality is the government is made of a few parties which are all right wing middle class. And as the only choice is between right wing middle class parties that is not real meaningful choice or real meaningful democracy or real meaningful politics.

so its govt for the right wing middle class by the right wing middle class by the right wing middle class. there is no left wing. it is a myth.

[CaptainAmerica5013]

the government is by the people, for the people of the people. if you've got a problem with it blame yourself, not 'the government'. and if you want to write a song about this sort of shit at least make it good.

[tierenbiete]

@CaptainAmerica5013 i-d-i-o-t

[SaraHarris620]

@CaptainAmerica5013 why are you on this song talking shit on it thats stupid

[CaptainAmerica5013]

the government is by the people, for the people of the people. if you've got a problem with it blame yourself, not 'Authority'. and if you want to write a song about this sort of shit at least make it good.

[scaryclown50]

@CaptainAmerica5013 ur right about the government it is by the people for the people of the people.....just exactly what people is of the government???.....for the people of the people....sayin it's for the people of the government.....the government is by people who are all for the government and the government alone becuz it is BY THE PEOPLE(((of government)))FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE PEOPLE ""the people"" of course bein the government

[DerNiedertraechtig]

my own mother said all the times america has let war crimes go it's ok as long as they take over the country that has them i'm like yeah and it's right to let someone on deathpenalty walk away just because they can say with a straight face they are a different person now? no crimes equal punishment the government is screwed up everyone knows it so why are all of you so push by it?

[skyehoyt1971]

Hatred passed on and passed on.

[EvilLeparacaun]

This song sounds like someone giving birth to their kidney through their dick!!!!

FUCKING LOVE RAGE!!!!!!!

[Kingopersia]

@EvilLeparacaun wtf

[TakinInc]

@EvilLeparacaun

N I CAME OUT OF IT SCREAMING FUCK THE MACHINE

[MYTHIRDSHADOW]

@EvilLeparacaun  "This song sounds like someone giving birth to their kidney through their dick!!!!" = Stupid. Just a shortcut to thinking. This song deserves more of a statement than that. Did you even listen to the lyrics?

[CanineFaeces]

If ignorance is bliss, then knock the smile from my face

[CanineFaeces]

love this song

[75sliver]

I was 16 when this shit dropped back in the day,with only an appreciation for the anger,now I'm 35 and not only do I appreciate the anger but the social content.

[TheSpudnic]

Holy shit pure rawness, deepness and substance. One of the few artists left with some damn substance. Bless to RAGE and other conscoius US and UK poets like Immortal Tech, Micheal Franti, Public Enemy, Krs One, Saul Williams, Atmosphere, Sage Francis, B.Dolan, Faithless, Scroobius Pip, Asian Dub Foundation, Cage, Lowkey, AllFlaws

[mmantech]
