Killing In The Name (Live) Lyrics
Killing in the name of!

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses
Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of!
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And 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, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control


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 burn crosses, are the same that hold office
Some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office
Some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office
Some of those that burn crosses, are the same that hold office


Killing in the name of!
Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya
And 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, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control
And now you do what they told ya, now you're under control

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!


Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me

Motherfucker!

When Rage play this song live Zach de la Rocha adds a little extra hard hitting verse. On the album version he says that some "who work forces" ie the police are white supremists wether overtly, in that they burn crosses, or covertly. But when playing live he adds that the same goes for those in the white house. GENIUS!!

U think that epic told him not to put it in?

P.S hopefully we can have a discusion about this gr8 song without the arguements, ignorance and people just saying "This song is good", that are on the other entry for it.

There's also another version of killing in the name, where Zack does the same thing with the second verse but instead of "hold office", its "some of those that work forces, are the same that burn churches!". not as ryhthmically sweet, but still a great line.

Zach de La Rocha is really a government agent.
