Bullet in Head Analysis Oral

Bullet in the Head

This time the bullet cold rocked ya

A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika

Nothin' proper about ya propaganda

Fools follow rules when the set commands ya

Said it was blue

When ya blood was red

That's how ya got a bullet blasted through ya head

Blasted through ya head

Blasted through ya head

I give a shout out to the living dead

Who stood and watched as the feds cold centralized

So serene on the screen,

You was mesmerized

Cellular phones soundin' a death tone

Corporations cold

Turn ya to stone before ya realize

They load the clip in omnicolour

Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time

The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz

And mutha fuckas lost their minds

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Yeah

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Run it!

(Guitar solo)

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Check-a, check-a, check it out

They load the clip in omnicolour

Said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time

The sleeping gas, every home was like Alcatraz

And mutha fuckas lost their minds

No escape from the mass mind rape

Play it again jack and then rewind the tape

And then play it again and again and again

Until ya mind is locked in

Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya

Buyin' all the products that they're sellin' ya

They say jump and ya say how high

Ya brain-dead

Ya gotta fuckin' bullet in ya head

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Yeah

Just victims of the in-house drive-by

They say jump, you say how high

Uggh! Yeah! Yea!

Ya standin' in line

Believin' the lies

Ya bowin' down to the flag

Ya gotta bullet in ya head

(Repeat x2)

A bullet in ya head (8 times, building to a shout)

A bullet in ya head (7 times, shouted/screamed)

Ya gotta bullet in ya fuckin' head!

Yeah!

Yeah! (Sustained to end of drum roll)

My talk 2 the class for RATM - "Bullet in the Head"

Rage against the machine are a band that are completely influenced by recent happenings and political events and they band members portray this through their music and lyrics.

The song I chose to do was bullet in the head. The song was written in 1992, which was a very political era. Here is the song I will be talking to you about in which I analyzed.

(Play song)

As you can see Rage against the machine do a very good job of getting their message across to the fans and everyone out there.

The lyrics heard in this song are mainly about how the US troops were convinced by propaganda to go to the Gulf War. An example of this is "Nothin' proper about ya propaganda"

Also the words "Fools follow rules when the set commands ya. Said it was blue, When ya blood was red"

Which shows. That someone tells you something and you being a Ð''fool' believe it without questioning and then finding out what war was really about

Also the lyrics "Believin' all the lies that they're tellin' ya. Buyin' all the products that they're sellin'
