Covered As: Guerilla Radio by Richard Cheese
[Zach de la Rocha]
Transmission, third World War, third round
A decade of the weapon of sound above ground
No Shelter if you're looking for shade
I lick shots at the brutal charade
As the polls close like a casket, on truth devoured
A silent play on the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized
The cameras eyes on choice disguised
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?
Yes, a spectacle monopolized!
They hold the reins, stole your eyes!
All the Fist-a-gons, the bullets, and bombs
Who stuff the banks
Who staff the party ranks
More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None of the above. FUCK IT, cut the cord!

[Chorus]
LIGHTS OUT! GUERILLA RADIO!
TURN THAT SHIT UP!
LIGHTS OUT! GUERILLA RADIO!
TURN THAT SHIT UP!
LIGHTS OUT! GUERILLA RADIO!
TURN THAT SHIT UP!
LIGHTS OUT! GUERILLA RADIO!

Contact, I highjacked the frequencies
Blockin' the beltway, move on DC!
Way past the days of bombin' MCs'
Sound OFF, Mumia guan be free!
Who got 'em? Yo, check the federal file
All you pen devils know the trial was vile
An army of pigs try to silence my style
Off 'em all out that box, it's my radio dial!

[Chorus]

[guitar riff]

[*whispers*]
It has to start somewhere..
It has to start sometime...
What better place than here?..
What better time than now?...

[repeat 6X]
ALL, HELL, CAN'T STOP US NOW!!
The Battle Of Los Angeles

Probably their most famous song, and with a good reason too. This is a really cool song, with an awesome meaning.

Awsome song. I listen to it 1000 times and not getting sick of it. Like the rest of their songs, carries message instead of being about sex or drugs.

One of the greatest and most important rock songs in history. That's not an exaggeration either...perfectly timed, amazing, powerful song. God, I miss Rage.

Great song. The Chorus in this song is so simple, yet so addictive. My only problem with this song is the guitar solo. I really dislike it, Tom Morello could have chosen a more suiting/better guitar solo.

Tom Morello's solos are always fucked up. That's his biggest problem, he's addicted to weird noises.

I actually love Tom's solo in this song. It flows right into some whispering and then hell not stopping us now.

When I think of Rage, I think of Zack whispering at the end of this song. It's just epic.
