K is for Killing in the Name

Killing in the name of
Some of those that work forces,
are the saints that burn crosses

Now ya do what they told ya

Don't you die or justify
You're wearin the badge, and your chosen white
You justify those that died
By wearin the badge and your chosen white

Some of those that work forces,
are the saints that burn crosses

Killing in the name of...

Now ya do what they told ya

Your under control
Now ya do what they told ya

Those who die, are justified,
for wearing a badge and their clothes in white
You justify those that died
By wearin the badge and your chosen white

Come on...
**** you, I won't do what ya tell me...

This is a classic and great track by Rage Against the Machine. Tom Morello is great. I mean, his wah-pedal use is as prolific as Kirk Hammet, but in a good way. RATM has always been quite political in their views and lyrics, this being no exception. I don't feel this song to be sacreligious, but it definitely makes a statement.

Rage plays a lot of Drop D songs. I am a metal head, but I prefer standard tuning. I feel that E standard just makes for heavier songs. Sure, you are hitting lower notes, but it's just not the same. : s
