RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE

Setlist

Real quick, before we get this thing started, I wanna hear it up, I wanna hear a big one for Wool real quick because those motherfuckers tore things up. This first one is going out to them and it's called Take The Power Back. Did I mention we got my man Bryan Chu in the house tonight? Yes, he's in here. And my sister [??]. And my brother Mark Hayworth. Some important days up ahead.
• 1. Take The Power Back
  The song is stopped midway through due to security mishandling fans
  In-Song Dialogue: Hey, hey, HEY. Yo Timmy. You see, we've been playing a lot of shows over the past couple of months and I know one thing's for sure. For the most part, and this has run true throughout every fucking show we've played, it ain't the people that's got the problems, it's sometimes the people that work the stage that have the fucking problems. I realize that there are some equipment up there that cannot be damaged but I know that there's things more important than equipment and that's people's faces and their bodies and that's gotta be the shit, you know? So looks like we're going to finish this thing up.
• 2. Bombtrack
This song goes out to all that weren't afraid to use their strength and power as an individual to stand against the fucking murder in the Persian Gulf. There are certain things that are true about America. One of them being that they don't do anything just for freedom's sake, they do it because they got fucking BUSINESS interests and they won't do anything else, no matter who else stands in their way, they'll take it and rob those people of their lives. And two years ago they murdered five hundred thousand innocent women, children, and men in the Persian Gulf. This song is called a Bullet in your head. It's going down, check it out it's going down.
• 3. Bullet In The Head
Because we grew up here in America it seems that, we feel like we're so separated from making anything historical. And every so often, I'm reminded of the power of the individual. A brother from the crowd threw this up. A man named Che. This man, born in Argentina himself, as he worked his way through medical school decided with the power of himself and his spirit that he was going to put himself and force himself into action. And in the early 50s he wrote a book, a single book that fucking changed the way people think about resistance to capitalist nations. That book was called Guerrilla Warfare. This single book, this single book is like the bible for all the revolutions against capitalist corporate America in Latin America. It fuled and taught the fighters in Cuba how they could overthrow the landowner and the upper classmen there. It was revolutionary in the Congo. The [??] from enslavement, mentally and physically. And whenever I speak the power of one single man he always comes into fucking mind because he reminds me and I'm trying to remind you that every single one of you, women, men, whoever in this crowd, has fucking POWER. Has so much power. You could be a part of changing what's happening in America right now. Don't let those conformists in your schools tell you any different. Those people that call themselves teachers are more like moulders and consumers your mind as opposed to bringing out the true strengths that lie within them. Yeah. So this song goes out to that brother that threw me up that shirt. Where you at, this guy right here man. How many Chicanos we got in the bouse tonight? Yeah, this one's going out to ya'll.
• 4. Township Rebellion
• 5. Darkness Of Greed
I just want to bring your attention to a couple of things. By the t-shirt stand there in the back we've got some information, some literature I'd love for everyone in this room to check out. We've got information about an organization called Parents For Rock and Rap. It is an anti-PMRC, anti-censorship information. Damn you guys haven't seen the fucking thing yet, you're all clapping for it. That's just funny, Anyway check it out. This organization has listings in the back and puts out articles pertaining to issues concerning censorship, gimme a second brother alright? Hehe. Fuck the propaganda, ok. Check it out. Also back there, let me finish about this thing. This organization, ok, has got listings of corporations like AT&T and Pepsi Cola and all these other corporations that are funding the PMRC. So you should definitely check that out and fucking think about boycotting these corporations. What's the matter you guys just came to hear music tonight? Is that it? Well, I'm going to talk and then we're going to play some music and if you can't wait then fucking leave, that's how I look at it. There's another piece of literature back there pertaining to a struggle, pertaining to a struggle of an organization that in the early 70s got there to help organize all the Native Americans from the [??] people all the way down to the [??] people of Florida that began to establish an organization called AIM, the America Indian Movement. In the early 70s, in the early 70s they began to stand up for these peoples who for over 500 years, their culture has been dissemiated, and murdered and raped. These people have died in the face of the very eltist and eruocentric America. They fought for their hunting rights, and their fishing rights, and their religious rights, and the right to exist within their own traditional way, own fucking loving truthful way and their relationship with the Earth. And in 1977 one of their leaders was put in prison for a crime he did not commit. The FBI and the CIA were clamping down on these people because they were organizing and empowering their women and their men to speak up, to speak up. I'm going to keep talking, I don't give a fuck I don't give a fuck I don't care, I'm going to keep talking. They began to speak out and the FBI and CIA began to clamp down on every reservation that began to become vocal. The people ended up in the fucking weeds, their leaders murdered and jailed. And in 1977 a man by the name of Leonard Peltier was placed in prison for the murder of two FBI agents. And the FBI is withholding 6000 documents, informative documents, that would prove his innocence. And to this day they are still relunctant to make them available to the American public. Even though in 1970 the Consitution and the Supreme Court of this country passed the Freedom of Information Act. Which guaranteed that all of us as individuals have the rights to that information. On that pamplet there's a card inside. What I'm asking you to do is take a look. Read the information and if you feel, and if you feel so obligated to get out a pen and put your name on this card and in LA that fucking dickhead Clinton has got an office and we can all fucking fill that office so full of mail that he's forced to see and address the issues pertaining to indigenous rights all over this country. And for those that just came here to be entertained I'm so fucking sick of being entertained and being an entertainer fuck entertainment! It's bullshit. This song is called Wake Up.
• 6. Wake Up
  In-Song Dialogue: The system is gonna fall. The system is gonna fall. It is inevitable. It is inevitable.
This song is for the [??] who struggled, struggled against the very violent and oppressive police regime in the 30s and 40s. This song goes out to Reuben Salazar who was a Chicano writing for the LA times who was murdered by the police. This song goes out to Huey Newton. And this song goes out to Dennis Banks and Russel Means. And this song goes out to all the ghettos and barrios all over this country. People who have suffered. And this song goes out to the people in the communities of San Francisco and LA and all the communities across this country that could erupt once again in violent resistance. And this song is called Killing in the Name.
• 7. Killing In The Name
Understand [??]. Injustice appointed. Will anything to shape and mould you. That you conform and continue to support the hypocrisy. To enslave you. To teach you one side of life.
