"Fuck you I won't do what you tell me"-Rage

[shadowknows69]

I should be 20 years younger because I'm sick of this shit and I'm ready to go...

[Lex]

1. ?????

[shadowknows69]

2. Yeah it was pretty much meant to elicit that kind of response

thanks for playing Lex. B-)

[Lex]

7. So far

a very enlightening thread.

[shadowknows69]

9. I do my best lol.

You get what you pay for and the shadow is free lol.

[Madspirit]

3. Shadow

You said earlier in another thread that you are a tad inebriated. Maybe it's bedtime. I promise about the PM.

5. Bedtime?

Bwah ha ha ha ha. "He don't know me very well do he"-Bugs Bunny

Sleep is for the weak and plenty of time for it in the grave. If I get more than four hours a night be sure that the end times are nigh lol.

[Madspirit]

14. A lot like me

I refuse to sleep a third of my life away too! It upsets my shrink a lot. 8 hours a night I've never done...NOT EVER. I rarely get five hours a night.

18. If this board were limited to those who hadn't had a drink

would you like to speculate on how many posts would never have been made?

And if all those posts hadn't been made, there would be nothing for superior people to answer, and DU would have .....oh, a tenth of the membership and a hundredth of the posts. And no sponsorship.

[Matsubara]

4. Great song, and I know what you mean.

Rage were bitching about CLINTON then - who knew it could get THIS bad.

When will the whole country be shouting that chorus?

[shadowknows69]

6. Clinton really?

I just took it as a specific statement about racism in the ranks of the police.

"Some of those that work forces. Are the same that burn crosses."
-Zack and company

[Matsubara]

8. Not that specific song, just during that time period.

They were critical of Clinton's GOP-lite policies, bombings of Kosovo and starvation of Iraq at the time.

Are you having trouble with the cops?


I like that song as a general scream of outrage against all power-mad authority.

[shadowknows69]

10. No trouble with the cops yet lol.

Although there is a weird little incident lately in the taxi I must relate at a later date.

[Athens30603]

11. Ah, the sound of rebellion...

as financed by Sony.

[shadowknows69]

13. Sometimes you have to deal with the devil

to get the gospel heard in Hell.

[Athens30603]

19. haha! That's a good one.

Seriously, I like that. I'm probably gonna use it now.

15. Yeah I saw RATM about 10 years ago

at San Jose State. They were selling their tee shirts for 5 dollars and CDs for 2. They blew the crowd away with their powerful anthems. I was so upset when they broke up; we could use a few bands like that today.

[shadowknows69]

16. I think they're supposed to be reforming with Zack

at least for one show.

[ellisonz]

20. They're touring with Wu-Tang Clan.

Coachella 2007 - Know Your Enemy - http://youtube.com/watch?v=3K0Dfs6V6ek

Better video of the song live from the Battle of Mexico City: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0y-7fl1nJfw&mode=related&search=

Huh!
Yeah, we're comin' back then with another bombtrack
Think ya know what it's all about
Huh!
Hey yo, so check this out
Yeah!
Know your enemy!
Come on!

Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist, that's with
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know
Ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify
Defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy...Know your enemy!
Yeah!

Hey yo, and dick with this...uggh!
Word is born
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got no patience
So sick of complacence
With the D the E the F the I the A the N the C the E
Mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of the chains
What? The land of the free?
Whoever told you that is your enemy?

Now something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em

Now action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in

I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay...
Know your enemy!

Come on!
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity, assimilation, submission
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams
All of which are American dreams

17. Raging against the machine are we?

I wouldn't want to be 16 again.

[ellisonz]

21. Hey man...crank that shit up in the cab!

You should play "Sleep Now in the Fire" every time you drive through the financial district (I've never been to NYC).

Fuck the system.

[beevul]

22. RATM...LOVE EM! N/T

[TorchTheWitch]

23. Bulls On Parade and all that

what the heck, throw in a little Click Click Boom (Saliva) while I'm at it, a little Disturbed, a little Shovelhook, and of course Big Truck (Coal Chamber)... good angry music

How would I ever work up the courage to clean the bathroom without that good angry music? I can't face a toilet scrubbing brush without it... I can't I tell you!

[shadowknows69]

24. It does seem to raise the general energy level when you play it

LOUD!!

[porphyrian]

25. That album came out in '92, and it applies just as well today.

No surprise, another bush in the White House.

[leeroysphitz]

26. A powerful song, an anthem for the disaffected.

I'm right there with you.

Yes,FUCK them. I won't do what they tell me.

[shadowknows69]

27. Jennifer Saunders is a Goddess of comedy

good pic of her.
