fvck you I won't do what you tell me
fvck you I won't do what you tell me
fvck you I won't do what you tell me

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge and they're cloaked in white

Their first Album rocked!! "Know Your Enemy" is the sond the lyrics above are from. Stay away from their newest stuff, its not half as good, but still good...But like I said their first 'self-title' album is by far the best
i would agree there, i enjoy there albums in the order that they came out.
<--- listening to evil empire right now.
If you are looking for lyrics about a corrupt society, be sure to check out System of A Down's Toxicity album. They aren't quite as angry about things as RATM rather they take a sort of humorous but still serious look at a lot of things (like police brutality). Plus it's an awesome album.
That was the first song I thought off. If Zach De La Rocha wanted to bring some sort of political message he really should have tried to make it a little less childish. Unfortunately for him however, he's just a whiner without a band (maybe he has a new band though?) at this point. Too bad. I always thought Tom Morello carried that group anyway. Dude is a freaking witch with guitar.
just about all there songs talk about that, try cddb.com to find out the names of the songs

Deer Dance by SOAD (no swearing I dont' think):
Deer Dance Lyrics
Round, round
Circumventing circuses
lamenting in process
to visible police
prescence sponsored fear
batallions of riot police
with rubber bullet kisses
baton courtesy
service with a smile
Beyond the staples center you can see america
with it's tired poor avenging disgrace
peaceful loving youth against the brutality
of plastic existence
pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
round, round
A rush of words
pleading to disperse
upon your naked walls, alive
A political call
the fall guy accord
we can't afford to be neutral on a moving train
Beyond the staples center you can see america
with it's tired poor avenging disgrace
peaceful loving youth against the brutality
of plastic existence
pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
A deer dance, invitation to peace
war staring you in the face, dressed in black
with a helmet, fierce
trained and appropriate for the malcontents
for the disproportioned malcontents.
The little boy smiled, it'll all be well
The little boy smiled, it'll all be well
Pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
They like to push the weak around.

The Ghost of Tom Joad
for sure. Also meets your no swearing req. You'll even get points from your teacher (since this is most likely for school) for using Tom Joad as literary reference. (though steinbeck can eat my ass)

"Tearing Everyone Down" (Mobilize)
I thought i'd begun to see a change but the more things change, the more they stay the same back stabbing and name calling, the trade marks of your act you talk and talk of unity, but divide with your attacks (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..." all us kids, we try to make a change some kids start a band, others start a zine you, no matter what your path you throw a curve in what could be achieved, then give up and move onto some other thing (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down..." take a break from your fights, try to open up your mind tonight when you feel that's complete then we can tackle this society! you may not like everything in life i do... but that doesn't mean, i'm not trying to change the same problems as you (you say), "i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change, i'd like to see a change,
but i'm too busy... tearing everyone down...
"Police Story" (A New Kind Of Army)
A black man driving down the street one day
Pulled over by racist boys in blue in Brentwood,Pa.
Theres no reason,they dont have any right
It's just that in their eyes he's not the correct shade of white....
Driving in a neighborhood that's reigned by whites
Ain't healthy for a black man trying to live a lengthy life
All those cops they walked off free,but him he's in a grave
His name is Jhonny Gammage,one of thousands they have slain
We've got no rights.....
....When cops can kill
it's not right....
.....we live in fear
Patrol man crusing in his car at night
Just looking for some homeys he can rough up in a fight
Pulled over 3 kids in a total rage
Next thing that you know there's bodies all over the place
His back up came & they're all acting tough
3 kids vs. 6 or 7 cops all armed with billy clubs
The cops they did it just cause those kids color and their age
They say that's not the truth,but this happens every fusking day!!!
We've got no rights....
....When cops can kill
it's not right.....
.....we live in fear
Fear of what you're gonna do,when a cops talking sh!t to you
Fear of what you're gonna say,when the cops come gunning your way
Fear of what you should'nt do,when the cops try to provoke you
Fear that on any given day,the cops could take your life away......
They say they're here,to keep the peace........
WHAT A BUNCH OF FUSKIN SH!T!!!
We've got no rights...
....when cops can kill
it's not right.....
....we live in fear
TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS!!!
"Seattle Was A Riot"
Seattle was a riot, they tried to pin on us But we didn't show up, with gas and billy clubs An un-armed mass of thousands, just trying to be heard But there are no world leaders- that want to hear our words. Ohhh. Why must we riot Why must we protest Just to be heard - by the world? The World Bank's greed and lies, digs graves in 3rd world lands And fills them with the remains of exploited workers Or displaced native peoples, and destroyed ecosystems Under the guise of progress, relief, and tech assistance. Ohhh. Since the dawn of history -the few who own control Have bent and rewrote history-how they want it to go They try to control what we learn-and take away our rights Cause when the masses round the world unite That's a force they can not fight We'll fight for our We'll fight for our We'll fight for our We'll fight for our Rights! Sitting in what was designated the "Cooperation Zone" by Seattle Police Sergeant Richard Goldstein They sat heads bowed- listening as the police methodically shot pepper spray- one eye at a time into the eyes of their passive brothers and sisters Whore like police- playing judge, jury, and executioner for their pimp like bosses in the World Band and W.T.O. This is not justice. This is not the role of, The Servants of the People Such tyranny brings ruling classes crashing to the ground and contemporary societies to an end.
