Song lyrics
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 
Huh! 

Killing in the name of 
Killing in the name of 

And now you do what they told ya (11 times) 
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 
Uggh! 

Killing in the name of 
Killing in the name of 

And now you do what they told ya (4 times) 
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control (7 times) 
And 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 
Come on! 

(Guitar solo) 

Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me (8 times) 
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me! (8 times) 
Motherfucker! 
Ugh!

lol...he kinda does sound that way but he has a really cool voice so its alright. I really love this song because of how the guitar playing just fits in with the lyrics. It just gives it that much more of a UGH!!!!! sound

this song rocks,
the lead singer's name is Zack De La Rocha, so call him that.
Zack doesn't sound like the lead singer of beastie boys, zack has a more unique voice than that faggot.
it doesn't matter what mood ur in, its great 24/7
chow
to everyone)
I LOVE RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!
