Biography

American alternative / funk metal / modern rock band formed in 1991 in Los Angeles, California (often abbreviated as RATM, R.A.T.M. or shortened to Rage). They are noted for their blend of hip hop, heavy metal, punk and funk as well as their revolutionary politics and lyrics. They split up in October 2000 after Zack de la Rocha decided to leave the band for a solo career, the rest of the members of the band joined [a=Audioslave] (formed by [a=Soundgarden]'s frontman [a=Chris Cornell]). After seven years of absence, Rage Against The Machine reunited in 2007 for a number of shows. In 2017, the band members other than Zack de la Rocha formed the supergroup Prophets of Rage with [a=Public Enemy]'s Chuck D and DJ Lord and [a=Cypress Hill]'s B-Real. After the announcement of RATM's return in 2019, Prophets Of Rage was disbanded, although the band's second reunion ended in January 2024.

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

Ugh!
Killing in the name of...
Killing in the name of...

Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya

But now you do what they told ya!!
Well now you do what they told ya!!

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge,
they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died, by wearing the badge,
they're the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge,
they're the chosen whites
You justify those that died, by wearing the badge,
they're the chosen whites

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

Ugh!
Killing in the name of...
Killing in the name of...

Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
Now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya
(Now you're under control) And now you do what they told ya

You justify those that died by wearing the badge,
they're the chosen whites
Come on!
