Rage Against the Machine, “Killing in the name”

 

Killing in the name of

Some of those that work forces / Are the same that burn crosses… Uh!

Killing in the name of / Killing in the name of

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… Uh!

Killing in the name of / Killing in the name of

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…

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!

Ugh! Yeah! Come on! Ugh!

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me… / Motherfucker! Ugh!…
