Lyrics for Guerilla Radio as interpreted by piesupreme

Guerilla Radio Lyrics
Transmission third world war third round
A decade of the weapon of sound above ground
No shelter if youre looking for shade
I lick shots at the brutal charade
As the polls close like a casket
On truth devoured
Silent play in the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized
The cameras eyes on choice disguised
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?
Yes a spectacle monopolized
They hold the reins, stole your eyes
All the fistagons the bullets and bombs
Who stuff the banks
Who staff the party ranks
More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None of the above fuck it cut the cord

Lights out guerilla Radio
Turn that shit up

Contact I highjacked the frequencies
Blockin the beltway
Move on DC
Way past the days of bombin MCs
Sound off Mumia guan be free
Who gottem yo check the federal file
All you pen devils know the trial was vile
Army of pigs try to silence my style
Off em all out that box its my radio dial


Lights out guerilla Radio
Turn that shit up

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here
What better time than nowAll hell cant stop us now
All hell cant stop us nowAll hell cant stop us now
All hell cant stop us now
All hell cant stop us now
All hell cant stop us now

Ok, first off I have a question for many of you; why the hell are you even here? This is particularly aimed at Nothingface, you say your here to state your opinions. I only see 2 reasons you would be here; 1. Your a Rage fan, or 2. You come here to pointlessly provoke fights with sad net nerds. So you basically came here to post about how bad Rage is and how "average" they are. Why would you purposely come here, avoid the topic on hand which is the song "Guerilla Radio", throw out a few comments demeaning Rage, and wait for someone to disagree so you can start a pointless arguement over the web with Rage fans and fifth graders? And just to get this off my mind, you seem to have little depth preception with guitar playing in regard to Tom Morello. I'm sure there are more skilled guitarists out their. So want if their skilled? Just because someone practices lifelessly and doesn't have any feeling at all for what they play doesn't make them good. Other wise we could have machines play guitar ( Rage Against the Machine, get it?). Tom Morello is a great guitarist because he plays for what he believes in a creative and skillfull manner.

Now thats out of the way...

I believe this song is about how the media can "choose" who we vote for. They basically take the top to canidates and center EVERYTHING around them. The line " More for Gore or the son of a drug lord" refers to how the media narrowed it down to 2 canidates thatwe wouldn't want to vote for anyway. Also, its about using the radio to start a revolution through the power of music. So its kind of a 2- meaning song for me.

Rage Against the Machine kicks the shit out of every other "fuck authority" band I've heard. And they're not political posers, which is a nice change from the usual.

Gotta admit Tom Morello's guitar work and Zack De La Rocha's rapping style makes the band though. The bass and drums might not be incredible, but hey, they're competent aren't they?

I think this song is about cutting loose over the radio and telling the truth for everyone to hear, uncencored, and pretty much taking over the station.
I hear it more as an idealistic "what-if" anthem than a reference to what is actually happening today.

P.S: I usually like when he starts repating a particular part of the song. Its a good build up.

To the douches who say punk is politically charged, then say "practice what you preach," all punk does is complain about shit. At least Rage does something to make the world a better place, unlike punks, who bitch about the way things are, then get drunk and OD on heroin and freebase. Most punks talk about being unruly and not giving a fuck about anything, yet they spend hours doing their hair and sowing their clothes with patches.

Pretty much what the Axis of Justice (By Tom Morello and Serji) stands for

It's about using the radio to downgrade and disrupt the polics, Republicans, democrats and conservatives.

This song (like ALL RATM songs) is about being a spoiled brat living in America, where you have so things so nice, so all you can do is rebel against your parents by doing drugs and breaking things.

This son has so much meaning to it. It talks about how our government uses the media to blind and control the population. Also the line "More for Gor or the son of a drug lord" is talking about the 2000 election and asking which candidate was better. Obviously they didnt like either and the drug lord part is talking about the US involvment with the columbian drug cartels during the 80's and 90's(and probably now) and how George W H Bush has helped put drugs on our streets. It is also talking about how rage has gotten major airplay and used the governments own tool to put an anti government message out. Obviously they know that Mumia should be freed and that his trial was complete bullshit.
