A bullet in your fucking head
Rage against the machine have taken a lot of flack for gratuitous violence in their lyrics and how inappropriate they are. Read the story above, then read the lyrics, they are actually saying something ...
Rage Against the Machine Bullet in the Head Lyrics:
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
they said it was blue
when the blood was red
that´s how you 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 centraliced
so serene on the screen
you was mesmerized
cellular phones soudin¨a death tone
corporations cold
turn ya to stone before ya realize
they load the slip in omnicolor
they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatras
and mutha fuckas lost their minds
just victims of the in-house drive-by
they say jump, you say how high
they load the clip in omnicolors
they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time
sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatras
and mutha fuchas lost their minds
no scape from the mass mind rape
play it again jack and then rewind the tape
play it again and again and again
untill ya mind is locked in
believen´ all the lies that they´re tellin´ya
buying all the products that they´re sellin´ya
they say jump
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
ya standin´ in line
bellevin´ the lies
ya bowin down to the flag
ya gotta bullet in ya head
"Other children have other horrific injuries - such as Samer, not yet three years old, who was shot in the back outside her home in Gaza, and had to wait three hours for medical help to reach her.
Samer thinks she knows what happened to her.
"The Jewish shot me," she said in Arabic. "And they killed my little sister."

Thanks for reminding me about RATM.
I keep meaning to look them up, but equally keep forgetting.
This time when I get home I'll get some of their stuff downloaded.
Love,
Terri in Joburg.
..and yes, wake up you fucking sleepers.
I've just finished watching "Killing In the Name Of" and "Wake Up" on YouTube.
I'm not a rap fan by any manner of means, but this I like.
Now to get some more for my iPod...
Love,
Terri pretending to be a Luddite but carrying a 'Pod, in Joburg
