Bullet in the Head
This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
Said it was blue
When ya blood was red
Thats how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head
Blasted through ya head
I give a shout out to the living dead
Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized
So serene on the screen,
You was mesmerized
Cellular phones soundin a death tone
Corporations cold
Turn ya to stone before ya realize
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Run it!
(Guitar solo)
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Check-a, check-a, check it out
They load the clip in omnicolour
Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz
And mutha fuckas lost their minds
No escape from the mass mind rape
Play it again jack and then rewind the tape
And then play it again and again and again
Until ya mind is locked in
Believin all the lies that theyre tellin ya
Buyin all the products that theyre sellin ya
They say jump and ya say how high
Ya brain-dead
Ya gotta fuckin bullet in ya head
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Yeah
Just victims of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high
Uggh! Yeah! Yea!
Ya standin in line
Believin the lies
Ya bowin down to the flag
Ya gotta bullet in ya head
(Repeat x2)
A bullet in ya head (8 times, building to a shout)
A bullet in ya head (7 times, shouted/screamed)
Ya gotta bullet in ya fuckin head!
Yeah!
Yeah! (Sustained to end of drum roll)
My talk 2 the class for RATM – “Bullet in the Head”
Rage against the machine are a band that are completely influenced by recent happenings and political events and they band members portray this through their music and lyrics.
The song I chose to do was bullet in the head. The song was written in 1992, which was a very political era. Here is the song I will be talking to you about in which I analyzed.
(Play song)
As you can see Rage against the machine do a very good job of getting their message across to the fans and everyone out there.
The lyrics heard in this song are mainly about how the US troops were convinced by propaganda to go to the Gulf War. An example of this is “Nothin proper about ya propaganda”
Also the words “Fools follow rules when the set commands ya. Said it was blue, When ya blood was red”
Which shows. That someone tells you something and you being a Ðfool believe it without questioning and then finding out what war was really about
Also the lyrics “Believin all the lies that theyre tellin ya. Buyin all the products that theyre sellin
