RATM's political views may be somewhat jurastic, but thier politically charged lyrics are what made them famous. This song by the infamous band Rage Against the Machine talks about how so many men are in power in the USA (and other nations) and how they abuse the power that they basically got from the people. It also speaks up about the KKK and how black males live up to the Sterotype that they aren't worth much hense the "and now you do what they told ya" part. This song could also be more about people who belive and follow one set of morals but do the opposite, and just the general hypocracy of the gov. This song especially talks about the KKK and compairs them with military leaders, "some of those that run forces, are th same that burn crosses". "run forces"=military leaders, "burn crosses"=KKK. In the song, it also says "now you do what they told ya", and its also talking about the control religion has over people and also how it affects them in forms of racism.
