Lyrics:
[Intro]
Uh
[Verse 1]
The movie ran through me
The glamour subdue me
The tabloid untied me
I'm empty. please fill me
Mister Anchor, assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice, it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
I need you, my witness
To dress this up so bloodless
To numb me and purge me now
Of thoughts of blaming you
Yes, the car is our wheelchair
My witness, your coughing
Oily silence mocks the legless ones
Who travel now in coffins
[Pre-Chorus]
While on the corner (Corner)
The jury's sleepless (Sleepless)
We found your weakness (Weakness)
And it's right outside your door
[Chorus]
Now testify
Now testify
It's right outside your door, now testify
Yes, testify
It's right outside your door
[Verse 2]
With precision you feed me
My witness, I'm hungry
Your temple, it calms me, so I can carry on
My slaving, sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire, I'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball is rushing
Witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
[Pre-Chorus]
While on the corner (Corner)
The jury's sleepless (Sleepless)
We found your weakness (Weakness)
And it's right outside your door
[Chorus]
Now testify
Yeah, testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Now testify
And it's right outside your door
[Post-Chorus]
Mass graves for the pump when the price is set
When the price is set
Mass graves for the pump when the price is set
When the price is set
Mass graves for the pump when the price is set
When the price is set
Mass graves for the pump when the price is set
When the price is set
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past
Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now?
[Chorus]
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door
Now testify
Testify
It's right outside your door

It’s fucking crazy that this band could have came out today and they wouldn’t have to change a single lyric
It shows this music mv was WAY AHEAD of its time lol.
@@Mario123007 nah the message just fell on deaf ears.
Are you crazy? They were anti govt now they’re super authoritarian. Rage on behalf of the machine. Pro mandates.
@@Stossburg nothing changed. The world is run by old white perverts who manipulate the public. Gross
It’s crazier that you could probably say that in another 10yrs. Or more.
I'm an 80 yr old great-grandmother and love this song. I'd give Zack, Tom and the band huge hugs if I ran into them. Come back, y'all!
@UC8itfFFiAbiRCrPpaZOgO0g Lovely comment--thanks! I've always wanted to visit the Motherland but never had a chance. I come from a long line of Smiths and Franklins who immigrated here quite early from England. It's not hard to understand why so many English settled in the south. Around here, it's rolling hills, farms, small towns, horses, hunting--small villages without the manor house these days, though, and more modern, of course. . BTW, your knees--do you get regular shots of steroids? My only impression of GPs in the NHS is from the "Martin" series, haha, and the villages from "Midsomer Murders". Enjoyed both series immensely.
you‘re so damn right granny!
This made me feel much better
Right?! I I love them so much
You rock grandma!. 🤙
We need a lot more RATM in 2024! Whose with me on this?
True. In 2000, the election was between two bland candidates who were essentially the same. 2024 is a critical election to keep a con man from returning to power and destroying 60+ years of slow progress.
What difference would they make? If things are exactly the same now or worse than they were back in the 90s, then what would them coming back do to change anything?
@@markcole5108 Women got the right to vote in 1919, and after RvW you can bet your ass thats up next, so its more like 100 years.
I finally woke up. Yea we do wake up the rest
we dont need RATM, we need people that listen to them. they have already said all they have to
A band that will never not be relevant.
They are the only band that wishes they would become irrelevant!
This is one of the few bands where I'm not even mad they stopped making their stuff. Everything they needed to say, they already did. If the message is not understood, can't be helped.
Patrick Böhnert yeah but they gotta say it again
@P Meaning what exactly?
P are you ok
@@Yomachaser it's because they got famous and wealthy which obviously must mean they became what they were fighting even tho they were just fighting corruption all together
And they interviewed noam chomsky..what else could u ask for lol
These guys were a solid 20 years too early. What I wouldn't do for a band like this today.
Sad that many people who listened and jammed to this when it was fresh, are now wearing red hats proudly. Eating what they're being fed
@@marktheregulardude8651 Or "I'm with Her" shirts. Singling out one side and not the other proves you're part of the problem and you missed the entire point of this video/song. BOTH sides have the same goals. BOTH sides will rob US blind. BOTH sides are against ALL of US.
In response to OP, sadly music has been fully corporatized and corrupted. We'll likely never see another band like RATM (or SOAD and the many others that spoke truth to power) become huge again because no label will sign anti government/corporate artists.
Check out "Fever 333" very similar sound and definetly inspired by Rage against the machine. Similar themes too.
You need to listen to "prophets of rage". They're made up from members of rage against the machine, Cyprus hill and public enemy. Exact same music
This is wildly correct in 2024.
Man I miss the 90s… this is one of the best bands ever. I love everything they stand for.
Trump botched COVID-19 and printed out fake money for his buddies. Trump destroyed this economy.
"stood"
@@youtubesucks494 aren’t they still a band? They just had to cancel the last part of their tour this year bc Zach hurt his foot.
*"If you're not turned on to politics, POLITICS WILL TURN ON YOU."*
Truer words have never been spoken.
Ralph Nader is the man
k-rino
Cause they wanna be big celebrity politicians ha ha, don't think so with their looks.
Ralph Nader I voted for him in 2000
A man who tries to change the system from the inside will inevitably be changed from the inside out.
Fun Fact: The line "who controls the past controls the future... who controls the present controls the past" is taken from George Orwell's novel '1984' which is a book about a totalitarian government.
IngSoc
That's what we need to continue to Rage Against!!! 20 yrs n Nothing has changed!
Just started the book today and recognized the quote from this song and felt like coming back here lol
@@peterluyo3941 Notice any parallels with the shit going on today? I sure do. Its blantent. 1984 is like a "How to" for the elite
MidWestOutlaw 420 Absolutely. Now every comedian who’s ever made a racial joke is being cancelled, first they’re going to say it’s for social justice until they actually begin stripping us of our free speech. Also the anger coming from the left and the right, people are literally preparing for a civil war. I have my own political beliefs but all this anger is not worth it, the deep state is working for both sides and they want to take down America.
Fucked up how this is still relevant and still will be years from now.
It's a disgrace. It has been a quarter century and we can't move past the same old corruption and BS.
This is becoming more and more relevant these days, isn't it.
It's crazy to think they wrote the majority of their catalogue during the realative peace of the Clinton administration. What would they have said in today's climate....
no
Not really. We go through the same cycles of bullshit. It always remains relevant, it’s just our perspective grows as we age
Yeah, I saw how right hands were required to be raised while swearing an oath😎
Yes
Anger is a gift
to a point.
when used properly.
Anger is an energy
Or a curse!
like any gift, to be used sparingly.
we need RAGE now more than ever
YES
Its right outside ur door...
Fucking true
Mad times
this song specifically in some months to come is gonna be even more relevant than ever. when all these pedofile fucks and criminals. are convicted. and they have to testify.
RATM understood that both parties are the same entity!!! Nothing is for the people, and it's on us to take our power back!!!
I can't believe this masterpiece was released 23 years ago. I miss the 90's.
This album was criminally underrated, probably most in your face politically charged rock album ever.
🤘
Gang Of Four - Entertainment!
is probably my choice - this album is a close second
It's rated pretty high. At least among people that have decent taste in music.
@@oleglog4250 yeah but there's hope for some people yet, those who may not take an interest in this kind of music now may find their way to it later on. I went from fangirling over Spice Girls & BSB at the time this album came out to blasting RATM now lmao. In my defence tho I was only 15-16 and already had a fairly eclectic musical taste, just didn't pay much attention to this particular band back then and avoided politics like the plague ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People cant handle the truth they rather run from it
Man today's political climate would be perfect for Ratm !
Reason I came here
The reason I came here x2
I was just thinking the same thing, cheers everyone
It’s why I’m here
It's a tragedy that in over a decade were talking about the same SHIT
But still I do agree with the original comment .
As a poor teenager growing up in the 90s/Y2K era, RATM blew my mind. I am a sensitive type, I don’t like fights/violence, so I hold rage inside. Music can help us release this energy without hurting ourselves and others. This is what makes all Art forms important…it medicine for the psyche. I am so glad we would swap CDs in class to discover new music (before RUclips/Google)

Up
They quote Orwell, but most of their modern fans are playing right into 1984-esque things.
Now is the time we need Rage Against The Machine.
Nice one that's what I've been saying all year
most of my life been saying it. The Machine gets bigger and we keep fighting each other. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
mark navarro really now? Is that why billionaires and millionaires are in his cabinet and not a single real middle class person to represent the lower and middle classes? How about his promise to not cut social security and Medicare/Medicaid which helps the majority of the middle and lower classes, which he came out weeks ago and said he planned to cut them but in the campaign he promised not to.
Wake up guy, trump had no intention of raging against the machine, he had every intention of joining it.
Btw, if you think RATM would support trump, you seriously have no idea who these guys are at all.
i heard some rumors that the original 4 members are making another reunion and new album in 2018
Prophets of rage
This song is incredibly relevant today.
Sorry but... No ShIt SHErLOck!
That's because nothing has changed.
What about now?
The Rage is back just when we need them the most.
2023 this song makes so much more sense.
We need Rage now more than ever.
Not a rage, but a Wakening !!!
Look no further. Prophets of Rage.
You are sadly mistaken.
JJoe No one, like for example not by AIPAC and the zionist lobby
@JJoe you're insane
The world needs a Rage comeback BADLY. NO ONE ELSE can lead us the way they did in the early 2000's. MUSIC IS POWER!
We can. We will be sacrificing many lives but and I will be one of them if need be. This life is a shit from the inside out and we are just starting to peel back layers.
@@anarchistic8178 Well said
Rock like this is mostly dead
Lmao, Tom is shilling for NFTs these days. Believe me, these guys are absolutely down with the machine. It also wouldn't surprise me if they were simps for Russia as their anti-American viewpoint is straight from the Tankie playbook.
@@georgeplatz8628 So you dont like criticizing america? (im not a commie)
It's so fucking depressing that you could release this song today and replace Gore and Bush with Biden and Trump and it would be exactly as relevant today as it was then. Nothing fucking changes.
100%. Heck you could even go back as far as any leaders post 1964. The military industry complex truly took over.
One of the most powerful music videos ever made. RATM tried to show everyone but the sheeple are blind and continue to follow the shepherd.
It's a "Symphony Of Destruction"
easy for you to say. you are superman after all!
If you STILL don't think there's a difference between the worst Democrat and the best MAGA Republican, you're an accomplice to the end of our democratic traditions. Wake the fuck up folks. We're false-equivalencing our way into fascism.
@@sleepcity we dont need either of these sides. fascism only works if people are conformist, because literally every aspect of it depends on attitudes like yours, one's that accept how the system works
RATM hated both political parties as it should be
balanced , as all things should be
I'm not from America but yep he talks about the Elite in general
I don't think so: ruclips.net/video/Rm1nCYOZB-s/видео.html
Both are venom from the same snake
Im an anarchist I hate anyone who believes themself to be my authority
" If you're not turned on to politics, politics will turn on you..." WOW !
Guess what. They just did.
rage never die
Free Palestina 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I’m 32 and going to show this to my parents and ask them if it makes sense to them now.
WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO RELEVANT
WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO TRUE
WHY WE DONT HAVE THESE GEMS ON MUSIC ANYMORE
Powers that be won't allow it anymore. Too much tension these days. Rothschilds' Control Everything.
@@s.hicks7213 TRUTH!!!!
Since smartphone attack people.. Nobody care
Cuz nowadays they make music just to earn more money and fame, instead on the old days they make music to express something.

Silverfuck1981 You're a Thought Criminal! Alert the Thought Police!
Ironic, considering that they all support communism and Antifa
@@IWillNeverMakeVideos I always heard their music as being more just anti-capitalism,not pro-communism
@@howardmob8683 Anti-statism perhaps?
@@howardmob8683 Tom Morello literally has a hammer and sickle on one of his guitars and has come out in open support of Antifa
It was such an honor to see them live with my cousin. Best, most life-changing concert I've ever been to.
Sad they are broken up, but they changed my life.
GOAT
The BEST political and social awarness band ever. They shouldn't stop playing, money and fame aside, we need you RATM!
They became the machine. They could sing at DNC convention now with a straight face lol.
@@thekingofpayments they are still very much socialist lol
@@thekingofpaymentsyou're greed.
RATM is the most important band in the history of rock. May not be the best, but the most important for sure. Their music is to the point, eye opening lyrics, no hipster bullshit, no fake awareness. Their songs shall be in school books.
Yes, like Government owned schools would teach this.
ZedCrix in fact they are teaching about it, but State´s version.
If they were in school book, I'd buy the book for myself.
'Their songs shall be in school books' /// 'Yes, like Government owned schools would teach this.' /// - shall be - future tense, as in who gives a rats ass about evil government scumfucks 'now'.
the most important band in rock history? clearly, you are not the best source on the subject, black sabbath, the doors, cream, the jimi hendrix experience, ccr all much more influential bands on rock music....
I do think that in our modern world, we need RATM back more than ever
Probably my favorite Gospel song
Kids these days need this band and bands like this.
The fact that this song is from BEFORE the Iraq war is amazing and tragic.
Sure, O.peration I.raqi L.iberation
Welcome everyone coming back in 2020. You've made a great choice!
Do you all believe that the post-2001 response wouldn't have been different under Gore?
"If your not turned on to politics, politics will turn on you." What an ominous and honest answer (in a Freudian slip sort of way).
Hypocrisy at its finest. The world needs Rage Against the Machine now more than ever
@Big Rig69 trump
@John The King Robinson your very brave lol

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! 😎👽☠️
Over 20 years and nothing has changed. Sad.
Yup
This song has aged like wine
Except that wine is a poison and we KEEP DRINKING IT.
We need young people with this energy
I used to think this video hadn't aged well. But in 2022, Gore and Bush are on the same side again. Tom Morello probably gets nostalgic for Bush these days.
You know things are bad when you look at these past politicians and think to yourself..they weren’t so bad..
RATM will always be my reality check.
for real brother.
Yes it causes one to regroup and examine there priorities
It's not the left vs the right, it's the powerful vs everyone else
the proletariat against their capitalist masters. You said it comrade.
@@upshiftgo I hope you dont seriously think rage against the machine would touch trump with a 50 ft pole
@47 47 Mate... this has nothing to do with homosexuality.
@47 47 You do realize that's just them trying to appeal to the LGBT community right? It's marketing. Few of those companies and politicians actually give a shit. Also, seriously, "sodomy"? Since you seem to want to pull the religious card, a google search tells me that according to Matthew 7, it's not your place to judge. But hey, that's coming from someone who hasn't practiced in years. Maybe you should give a serious once-over of your views.
So...Bernie vs everyone else??
love rage with the machine
we need another rage the machine to seal the deal and set us free, its only a matter of time. humanity will WIN.
I think your bs so people like you
Almost 20 years later, and not a damn thing has changed.
it only gets worse
+badboybootz8 speaking straight truth my friends
Actually thinking about it, a lot has changed, but in the end the same truth remains: simply there is a lack of real choice. The point in this video is that Bush and Gore were ultimately the same. Hillary and Trump look quite diferent to me, but in the end they are silly candidates. If I were american, I'd feel forced to vote on Hillary because Trump is a madman. South Park has it right: why do they have to choose between a Big Douche and a Turd Sandwich?
money still goes bro
Phil Smith If you give your consent to be governed by oligarchs, you deserve the treatment you receive. Only fools vote. Period.
RATM.
Reunion 2020
Excited af.
Roson Raimajhi Trump
Roson Raimajhi not anymore
Roson Raimajhi or atleast at the moment
It would certainly be a perfect time...
Nope
The song resonates at so many levels. As a non-American, i can still see the exact same shit in my country. What a powerful message and what a video!
I grew up listening to Rage against the machine . Their music represents history & politics. I 💖 this song
LIKE FOR A 2020 REUNION!!!
Neha Soni THEYRE BACKKK
Coachella
Your anger is a gift!
Shut up about the year
NYC 🙏🏻
There it is. The truth.
So relevant in 2023. It's like these guys know what's going on even though it was back in the day.
These guys must be fucking time travellers, because 90% of their stuff is arguably EVEN MORE RELEVANT NOW then it was 2 decades ago...
Nah, the history just repeats itself all the time.
one of the greatest bands of all time.
Rage would be so good now with all the unrest that's going on
That's been on my mind for awhile now. They were so ahead and we NEED THEM EVEN MORE THAN EVER!!! Ugh!!!!!
So truuuuue
we need more music videos like this on TV
RATG more prevalent in these times. Wish we mad more artists like this in these times. Actors, musicians, artists need to help us all push the message
Lol yeah well they become sell outs so
they couldn't have picked a more appropriate time to upload this...
never have I ever clicked on a notification faster before
Dude same
same
+Vasil Dedov same here
exactly! ✌
Fifth degree burn
One of these guys started a 2 decade long war and gave us Samuel Alito. The other didn’t.
It's 2024, and you'd swear this could have just been released today.

@GazB right on!....just doing my internet job...i like to have lyrics available when i share this to the sheeple on freakbook.,
thank you so much I was scrolling for this
Still a banger in 2023 and ain't shit changed
So relevant even today
RATM gets ready to tour in 2020.
Government: Release the plague now!
Yep, that about sums it up. I had tickets to see them here in North Carolina and now I have to wait a damn year.
will Zack be playing on the tour?
It was supposed to be this past summer 2020. :(
There's definitely much more to releasing it when it was than just holding back RATM, much more insidious reasons, but yeah you can add this to that list lmao.
This video still rings true today
No one talking about the ungodly bass tone in this song? that bass is so good.
This song kicks butt.
Always loved seeing Tom just really get into to it in this video. I believed he said, "when you wanna rock out, when in doubt...f sharp." Respect him because he's a true musician.
I wish they would get back together to drop an album about what's going on today. their songs are still relevant
' still relevant' and that's the goddamn problem round here.
Was at their “last show” and I’ll say this- the entire 🌎 was represented in that crowd. Never been in a crowd with that many languages being spoken. We Raged.
Приятно видеть отражение своих мыслей в искусстве
This band should reunite in 2019..Perfect for 2019 politics
Prophets of Rage bra
@@falloutworldrecord spineless rage with none of the subtlety or historic references that made ratm. Compare lyrics. I dare ya. You won't find clever references to the zapatistas in por's lyrics.
I'm just saying, it's the best we got right now and they give a pretty fucking great show
@Big Rig69
Exactly. He's fighting the same evils described in this music video. Trump will end up going down as one of our greatest leaders in history.
@@qislegit.donttrustthemedia6232 i hope you realise that trump and his Republican buddies are literally the machine ratm is raging against.
"Who controls the present now, controls the past. Who controls the past now controls the future. Who controls the present now?" Wow what a line.
Borrowed from the book "1984" by George Orwell.
💯 🔥
The greatest call to action ever spoken
40 years later, Orwell's words still ring true to a terrifying degree.
@@DanRyzESPUK odd band to quote that book
Yo my brother was bumpin this when I was 15yrs old. I am now 33. This shit is as raw as it gets. 😢🔥🔥🔥🖖🏾💯
I will whole heartedly always truly in the world believe this is the only song that matters
One thing I am thankful for in these dark times is for bands like Rage Against the Machine who represent the silent majority who feel like the status quo is designed against most people and want change. Jamming RATM all day and for the foreseeable future to stay in the proper mindset and to give them views/attention. Our country's on the verge of a massive catharsis and we can't let it fizzle out like so many other movements have ('Occupy Wall Street' comes to mind)
The Most Intelligent Band Ever.
Just listen to the Message and they are still Relevant
We need RATM every day as soundtracks to our lives in the corporate dystopia.
Let it all out in dance and rage while listening to music. Then orderly go to work. Thank you.
We need rage against the machine more than ever before
🤘
Amazing how none of rages music hasn't disappeared "mysteriously"! 🙏
The internet is forever
I still have tickets from before this corona thing started. can't freaking wait.
I’d like to see this video remade in 2024, would still be valid
Would love to see RATM playing at the Minneapolis uprising or any of the other rebellions blossoming around the country. Gotta keep that morale high and the message clear.

I keep listening to the first rage album and some of the lyrics really fucking sting right now. There are so many quotes that go perfectly with BLM.
white supremacy, systemic injustice, power protecting power, COINTELPRO, propaganda, brainwashing, patriotism, all over that album and all over these protests.
YES!!!
This isn't a rebellion yet, it's chaos. When the strikes become genuinely organized will it be a rebellion, and the only way we are gonna be able to unite for a true revolution, will be putting the racial narrative aside, understand that the government's corruption affects everyone of all races. We need to rise up against the oppressive together if we really want change. DROP THE RACE NARRATIVE, MAKE THE NARRATIVE: WE THE PEOPLE!
Saw them when they played the RNC many years ago in the Twin Cities. They advocated for peace, and for people to not give in to the strategies the ruling elite use to divide and conquer us.
I would think a lot of people came back to listen to this one tonight. Still so relevant.
Indeed man.
in that its failure to understand pragmatism helped Trump win?
In that it's a music video about people who don't believe in either candidates.
It is not important that you "believe in them", whatever that means. It is important one understands the facts of the game before them, and acts rationally to cause the most good. Only voting for Clinton did that, any other action is demonstrable immoral according to game theory
My friend... I have done my undergrad studies in political sciences. I am fully aware of what an electoral campaign is. My comment was not meant as a deep, thought inducing statement to be quoted by future generations and that will spark great debates among intellectuals.
It was just about a guy (me) who was reminded about a cool song (Testify) while reading the preliminary results breakdown on election night, and dropped a comment after watching the video. I'm willing to pursue any conversation you might wanna have about this in private, but I don't make an habit of having discussions in the darkest public space the world has ever known (here).
This fits 2022 perfectly.
This video is ahead of it’s time 💯🇺🇸😈
