I forget whether the album booklet has the lyrics or not...are there no official lyrics then?

Unfortunately my ex-wife stoled all my CD's so I don't have the lyrics from there, but you can listen to a sample of the song at the official site on the Live at the Olympic Auditorium CD and he clearly says "work forces"

Actually Kid, that song has absolutely no relevance here since it is obviously a dig against the "chosen whites." There aren't that many of them in Nigeria.

Do you know what metaphorically speaking means?

I just listened on youtube, and it seems like he sings both. Anyway, good song. I remember blasting it in my car back in the early 90s.

I like RATM's music, but I can't stand their political views.

We should adopt the Hindu memetovirus instead, so that those of us with unsuitable heritage can spend our lives mucking out sewers and having other people refuse to touch us.

RATM sucks.

Oh, I did find the official lyrics from Rage Against The Machine the album and it's "work forces," but again he uses different lyrics sometimes.

I saw them live at Lollapalooza 92' when they were relatively unknown. They stoled the show and were not the headliners. Everyone there was talking about them. They were a new genre.

How about we ban all memetoviruses until the underlying super natural suppositions are conclusively proven with empirical evidence?

RATM sucks.

for Elok

They are a cult, not a mainstream church. The difference from Islam is that there such extreme actions are considered normal even by people who belong to mainstream Islam. And that such actions are even taken by members living in more “enlightened” societies. Anyway it would not be hard to find things about Hindu beliefs that could match this...

What is the difference that you are pointing out?

Oh, ok. Because I thought he might be suggesting that if say, Pat Robertson, started telling his followers to bury their children alive that they wouldn't do it. That would be ridiculous.

In Africa, you've got people doing all kinds of sick bull**** in the name of whatever religion they've heard about.

Google Lord's Resistance Army in order to find out about kiddy rape and cannibalism, among other things.

Leader of the cult uses some credible establishment religion and claims to be it's preacher, since the cultists can't really read nor have the access to religious books they'll believe everything he tells them to do in the name if said religion. The name of said religion is irrelevant really, the whole thing is about power for local con artists.

OTOH, I can't say I'm terribly surprised to see that Guardian does everything it can to delegate the blame to christianity. Since teachings of Jesus are obviously to fault here and Nigerians are the victims.

Their influence in Christian thought as opposed to the influence wielded by people practicing things just as abhorrent in Islam.

Anyone can have crazy splinter groups. Christianity has gotten much better at keeping those groups marginal, well except in the fundie US of A.

You are quite right.

Unwarranted Christian bashing really ticks me off, since it is so duplicitous.
