    Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    Uh
    Pump, pump, woo!
    Come on
    Uh
    [Verse 1]
    Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list
    All live, never on a floppy disk
    Inka, inka, bottle of ink
    Paintings of rebellion drawn up by the thoughts I think
    [Interlude]
    Yeah
    Come on
    The militant poet in once again, check it
    [Verse 2]
    It's set up like a deck of cards
    They're sendin' us to early graves for all the diamonds
    They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
    With poetry, I paint the pictures that hit
    More like the murals that fit
    Don't turn away, get in front of it
    Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
    Did ya lose it on the wall playin Tic-Tac-Toe?
    Yo, check the diagonal, three brothers gone, come on
    Doesn't that make it three in a row?
    [Refrain]
    (Anger is a gift)
    Come on
    Uh
    [Guitar Solo]
    [Bridge]
    Drop that
    Uh
    Come on
    Yeah
    Uh
    [Verse 3]
    Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
    Did ya lose it on the wall playin' Tic-Tac-Toe?
    Yo, check the diagonal, three million gone, come on
    'Cause you know they're counting backwards to zero
    Environment, the environment exceeding
    On the level of our unconsciousness
    For example, what does the billboard say?
    "Come and play, come and play
    Forget about the movement"
    [Refrain]
    (Anger is a gift)
    [Interlude]
    Yeah
    Uh
    Aw, bring that shit in
    Uh
    Hey
    [Outro]
    Freedom, yeah
    Freedom, yeah right
    Freedom, yeah
    Freedom, yeah
    Freedom, yeah, right
    Freedom, yeah
    Freedom, yeah, right

      @@toddmcintosh2685 It's hilarious how right wingers listen to radical left wing bands and think that these bands agree with their right wing ideologies. Hell no, Rage Against the Machine is against greedy right wing politics that only benefit the rich. What do you think the machine is that they're raging against? It's capitalism. The bands name "Rage Against the Machine" comes from a speech Karl Marx made. In this speech Karl Marx asked the people to rage against the machine.
      All great bands throughout history have always been left leaning, because if you want positive change it's not gonna happen by licking the boots of rich people. USA has only two parties that are both more or less right leaning. There is no real left in US politics. That's how right wing USA is and right wingers are fighting to maintain the status quo. Bernie Sanders is one of the only people in US politics who has tried to make real positive change.
      But even he's not nearly as left leaning as RATM.

      It's really sad that Leonard Peltier is in prison to this day despite the fact that two Federal Agents testified in court that Leonard was over 20 miles away from the place where the two agents were murdered at the time it happened. Travesty.

      That's not true. He admitted he was there in 1999; admitted that he did indeed fire on the agents. Look it up on Wikipedia. His gun had casings that were found at the scene:
      The casing introduced into evidence had in fact been extracted from the Wichita AR-15."[19][20] In his 1999 memoir, Peltier admitted that he fired at the agents, but denies that he fired the fatal shots that killed them.
