    People often quote RATM’s “some of those who work work forces are the same who burn crosses.” It’s informative.

    They have other, inspirational quotes, too:

    “Can’t waste a day when the night brings a hearse, so make a move and plead the fifth cuz ya can’t plead the first.”

    and

    “Return the power to the have-nots, and take a shot.”

      A mass of hands press on the market window

      Ghosts of progress, dressed in slow death

      Feeding on hunger and glaring through the promise

      Upon the food that rots slowly in the aisle

      A mass of nameless at the oasis

      That hides the graves beneath the master’s hill

      Are buried for drinking the rivers water while

      Shackled to the the line at the empty well

    • The world is my expense

      The cost of my desire

      Jesus blessed me with its future

      And I protect it with fire

      So raise your fists

      And march around

      Don’t dare take what you need

      I’ll jail and bury those committed

      And smother the rest in greed

      Crawl with me into tomorrow

      Or I’ll drag you to your grave

      I’m deep inside your children

      They’ll betray you in my name

      Sleep now in the fire
