    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

      @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.

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.

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?

    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)

      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.

      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!

      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).
