Bodhi Lee T They totally are and I think I did. These are important times, and there’s so so much meaning behind these lyrics.

Sometimes it’s good to look up the lyrics of a song and what they mean before you blindly listen, especially when it’s this relevant, ya know? That’s all.

[@laglord]

@Bodhi Lee T That would help a bit, but a bit of followup or some kind of activity in the comments would be encouraging evidence that these guys are getting some of the real message and importance of songs like this. I'm not expecting a reaction channel to make followup videos really, since I'm sure they'd rather be paid, but there's a lot of people trying to see that these guys got the message, and little to show that it's landed on anything but deaf ears.

Lil history lesson on why this band is smart AF: Zack de la Rocha (singer/songwriter) is the son of one of the first chicano art collective muralists and grandson of a Mexican revolutionary who fought in the Mexican Revoloution. Tom Morello (guitarist/songwriter) is a Harvard graduate (with honors, majored in political science). He is the son of Kenya's first ambassador to the United Nations, his great-uncle was the first elected president of Kenya, his aunt was the first woman to serve the legislature of Kenya. His mother was a school teacher, who also started the ANTI CENSORSHIP group Parents for Rock and Rap.

For those saying how young these boys are, Zack de la Rocha was probably little more than 20 years old when he WROTE the lyrics to this song. That blows my mind. How woke Zack was at such a young age. He was on a whole other level. I wonder if it bothered him being around a bunch of kids his age who just didn't get it.

I'm sure it did ... I had a kid when I was young. I grew up quick. I was making good money, bought a house, and my interests quickly turned to business and real estate and IRAs and 529s ... My friends were still talking about their drunken escapades at 3am, which I quickly outgrew. Not apples to apples but I imagine Zach couldn't relate to his age group either. To this day most my friends are older than me.

@@Dozav7 it's crazy ... Monroe was only 18. Hamilton was 21, and the GOAT and ring leader during that era, Thomas Jefferson was only 33. It's why I allow my kids to do more shit than most other kids their age. Can't always be their safety net. Gotta let em experience life and figure it out themselves. I see WAY too much hand holding, enabling and parents acting like friends instead of parents. Whenever one of my friends is having a kid and asks for advice, the only thing I tell em is to be their parent, not their friend.

This song was written in response to the police beating and acquittal of the beating of Rodney King and the LA riots. Some of those that work forces is reference to the police force. In live performances he sometimes change the lyric to “some of those that burn crosses (KKK) are the ones that hold office. Zach has never been one to hold punches in his lyrics.

[@stefaniehunt5199]

It's amazing to me that recently a bunch of Trumpers are suddenly hating on Tom Morello for being "political," and saying he should go back to the music RATM used to play. It's IN THE NAME, dumbasses. Rage Against the MACHINE. The machine is a corrupt political system.

[@nohandle935]

The original lyrics was as you said, "some of those that hold office, are the same that burn crosses" but the record label made them change it because they were afraid of the backlash, which is why Zach sometimes says that live. It makes sense with the original line, it flows a little bit better, but the line they chose is also iconic for the final take on the album because it focuses it more squarely on the police forces in the 90s.

Lol! Young bloods vibin’ but what I REALLY wanna see is their first reaction to the lyrical MEANING. Rage Against the Machine was informing white people of BLM 25 years before BLM became the second Civil Rights movement it is in 2020. Not only was the song an adrenaline pumping punk riff but it was the biggest spit in the eye to institutionalized racism in the 1990 after the Rodney King incident. He might’ve been the first filmed getting beaten by bad cops, but he wasn’t the first. Gen-Y got a lot of catchin’ up, but they got the right lessons early.

[@the_oslovian]

Thank you Wikipedia : "The song alludes to the history of some members of US police forces being members of or co-ordinating with white supremacist organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan, whose symbol is the burning cross. The BBC News website refers to it as railing against "the military-industrial complex, justifying killing for the benefit of, as the song puts it, the chosen whites." The song reflects the racial tensions that exist in the United States; it was released six months after the Los Angeles Riots, which were triggered by the acquittal of four white police officers who beat black motorist Rodney King."

These lyrics are wrong. Wearing the badge and they're cloaked in white Not the chosen whites As in wearing Klan outfits.

[@bulldoggery]

Geez, it's a tad more complex than just police brutality, people. It's also a history of white brutality towards Black and indigenous peoples. Which was largely done by the Catholic Church. Hence, crosses. Come. on.

[@becminn9]

Alt lyric version they sang live - “Those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office.”

[@tra1215]

Yes! They would sing it like that at some of their live performances!!

[@pumpkinlyd4409]

In the UK we got this song to Christmas number one as a protest to xfactor always getting it. To say thanks the band put on a free gig in London. It was epic!

[@lifeinsideout_insider]

Loving you guys so much!!!! Yeeeeeeaah!!!!

[@2kevbob]

I forgot how relevant the lyrics are. Damn why can't we learn.

[@rycaldwell]

damn. i was looking for them to get their minds blown. but they didn't understand the song.

[@landy952]

I know.. they didn't have the lyrics.. if you only listen to the music it's cool but you miss 98% of it.

[@landy952]

I would really like them to play head like a hole by NIN..

[@margaretbroz7791]

Yeah, me too. I hope they looked it up afterwards!

[@laurocordero8816]

😥

[@baldhairyandfatguy]

I think it's a good thing to feel the music before understanding the relevance. Feeling breeds motivation towards understanding. I'm glad you're exposing your audience to the music so they can feel it too.

[@gazetronix]

You guys had me at "shoes?!" Love these videos.

[@rajshreechauhan9060]

I waited on the edge of my seat to see if they’d make the connection between “Some of those that work forces/Are the same that burn crosses.”

[@Pommawolf]

This is the 1st song that my 16 yr old daughter shared with me 20+ yrs ago. Just as relevant now as it is today. It feeds the activist in me now as it did in the 70's When injustice becomes law. Rebellion becomes duty.

[@nikolelael]

I love watching you guys, man. I grew up with the music in these videos, and watching you hear it for the first time is so great. I’m sure, by now, somebody has explained what the song is about and what their name means... it’s a powerful song when you know the message. I used to blow speakers with that one 😂 Keep doing what y’all do, and congrats on how well you’re doing it!

[@Bebsg2369]

Love you reviewed this one!

[@s.evincents9888]

Your confusion is hilarious! This song was a big deal, the whole band was. It was the year Bill Clinton got elected after George Bush. The end of George H.W. Bush’s (George W. Bush’s dad (also dad of Jeb Bush!)) presidency is the legacy of Operation Desert Storm - the last time the US invaded the Gulf (Iraq - after they invaded Saudi Arabia and launched missile strikes on Israel and Saudi Arabia). It only lasted ~6 months but mostly considered a failure. After 9/11 it was a repeat of the past. They’re raging against the “machine” of government, brutality, war, police...everything that oppressed freedom (including freedom of the press who heavily restricted what was said/written in the news). There is a lot of that going on today! Fun fact! The U.K. Christmas Number 1 song is a huuuge deal (I don’t know why!) and in 2009 we all campaigned and bought the single (again) to get it to the number 1 spot (which usually goes to the X-Factor winner). It felt like a big win at the time.

[@dcgoth520]

Another fun fact was that the song still ran up the charts despite radio stations censoring the second half of the song. I’m glad it’s now enjoyed in it’s complete form without buying the album / CD / Digital Stream.

[@nakisakarymbai5574]

Original lyrics was 'Some of those that hold office Are the same that burn Crosses' But the record label made them change it

[@trevorhodgson.]

Nice reaction guys. Powerful song. Deep meaning behind this song. The burning of crosses refers to burning crosses that would be hammered into the ground and lit on fire in front yards of black people as well as white people who were pro-civil rights for black americans primarily during the first half of the 1900's by the KKK (Klu Klux Klansmen). WIKIPEDIA - "Killing in the Name" is a protest song by American rap metal band Rage Against the Machine, featured on their self-titled debut album, and was released as the lead single from the album in November 1992. Written about revolution against institutional racism and police brutality, "Killing in the Name" is widely recognized as the band's signature song, and has been noted for its distinctive guitar riffs and heavy use of the phrase "fuck you".

[@hayleys1260]

So sad that this could have been written right now and still have the same meaning. Sad we haven't made much social progress since the 90's.

[@iamsria]

We haven't made much progress on this front since the 60s.

[@CB-nd9ki]

OMG. You guys are now venturing into GREAT MUSIC with real meaning.

[@joeymullins903]

When that beat drops at the start after that first little intro there, if you know then you know, that's when you just start to bang your head just a little to feel it go thru! That's music right there! One of my faves! It's actually my walk up song on my coed softball team too lol

[@kathleenmorse5371]

I watch you two guys as much as I can. I hope you read the comments. The music alone is great but knowing the back story is amazing

[@matsugo24]

Ice-T once deviated from rap and made a heavy metal album in this fashion, in the 90s. One of the hits from that album was “There Goes the Neighborhood”. Take a peek.

[@Afinkawan]

Cypress Hill also did some excellent metal on their Skull & Bones double album. And Biohazard and Onyx did a few really good tracks together.

[@DieselHaven]

Once deviated? Have you not heard of Body Count?

[@matsugo24]

DieselHaven hadn’t heard of them much, since the 90s *shrugs*

Fun fact. This was the UK Christmas number 1 song in 2009.

They are an inevitable evolution of music. The intersection of hip hop and angst. Good video guys.

[@bekahnavarro]

In case you're interested in checking out this out. Audioslave is a group comprised of the members of RATM except instead vocalist Zack De La Rocha you have Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden). Love Audioslave and Soundgarden. Chris took his own life a few yrs ago, so there won't be any new music with him. RIP

[@brneyegrl76]

Please read the lyrics to the song and RATM and do another reaction. This song is really powerful. The sad part is that the lyrics are still applicable 20+ years later.

[@jenniferroberts4943]

Yes, I forgot about this song- appropriate right now!! I went to a concert when I was 20- and the part it says f@?k you I won’t do what ya tell me- was screamed so loud.

Bruh he’s talkin bout COPS son. 👮‍♀️ “some of those that work forces, are the same the burn crosses, while killing in the name of. And now you do what they told ya…… those who die are justified. When you’re wearing a badge, you’re the chosen whites” these MF’s talkin bout racist cops man. These boys were singing bout police brutality and racism before it was a major social movement like it is now. They were investigated by cops, the FBI. This band is wild son

Lol. Love your reactions 🤣😂🤪

[@Miss_ESL]

In 2008, the UK public got this song to the Christmas number song slot in a "fuck you" to the Simon Cowell pop grinder the X-Factor. RATM played a free concert in Finsbury park (that I was at) as a thanks and donated the entire proceeds of the purchase of the song in the run up to Christmas to the homeless charity Shelter. RATM are icons. Zac de la Rocha and Tom Morello have been spitting fire about standing up to the powers that be for decades. This song is just as relavant now as it was when it was first released. Sadly.

[@antheahoppe7989]

Saw them live as a teen in the 90s. Blew my mind! I’m so jealous you guys get to hear these tracks for the first time. Rap Rock! Love it. This is my anthem! ✌️

When he says “forces” he means people in power: like how the NYPD has challenge coins for various brutal abuses of their power. Just google: “NYPD Assman”
